Montreal Mirror, June 16-22,2005
By Patrick Lejtenyi

A well-written, and very well-acted tale about a young Montreal lawyer with an affinity for marijuana, this one-man performance takes on the ridiculous nature of current pot laws and the unnecessary criminalization of hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Actor Russell Bennett plays half a dozen characters with equal parts humour and honesty, from his overbearing Jewish parents to a senile, babbling judge. With manic energy and a knack for voices, Bennett's performance is outstanding. Timely, powerful and hilarious, The Reefer Man is not a performance to be missed.
