“[W]ith A Scandal for All Seasons [Iain] is producing and directing a sex farce that pokes affectionate fun at the politics and perhaps stodginess of the city of Barrie. His direction is irreverent and bold.”

“As some of Barrie’s dearly departed, the actors appear via augmented reality on our mobile phones and deliver intriguingly fascinating tales. I loved this.
