“A  Company of Fools"

Shakespeare's Interactive Circus

A Company of Fools takes an irreverent 60 minute romp through several of Shakespeare’s plays. The Fools recreate the atmosphere of the Globe Theatre, encouraging the audience to cheer and boo at the actors on stage. Shakespeare, rap, improvisation all blend together in an exhilarating tour of some of Shakespeare’s plays, life and themes. The Fools perform high energy, fast paced, entertaining Shakespeare that has delighted audiences across Canada for over 10 years.

(in case of rain the show will be indoors)

A donation will be appreciated.
Refreshments after the show.
