Named by The Globe and Mail as a Canadian Cultural Icon in 2022, Cliff Cardinal is a cultural provocateur, playwright, and performer who delights in difficult subject matter, raw emotions, and topical comedy. Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Cliff studied playwriting at The National Theatre School of Canada and is an associate artist at VideoCabaret where he develops his new work.
With this subversive updating of the Bard's classic, Cliff Cardinal aims to surprise and provoke. See for yourself why Cardinal has been described as "one of the most talented and intriguing writers in the country" (Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine).
