Best-laid plans! The dates for Bear & Co.'s production of Vern Thiessen's Shakespeare's Will starring Ottawa's own Eleanor Crowder at The Gladstone have shifted. The production will open in the newly reroofed Gladstone a week later than planned.

This passion project of Executive Director of Southwest Shakespeare, Mary Way, and written by Dathan B. Williams, offers a different take on the man, the myth, the legend - William Shakespeare - through the words of his sonnets.

& Juliet has announced additional casting, including stage and screen veterans Keala Settle, Julius D'Silva, and Tom Francis. They will join the currently cast Olivier Award winners Miriam Teak-Lee and Cassidy Janson. Settle will play Nurse, Francis will play Romeo, and D'Silva will play the amorous Frechman, Lance. & Juliet is running at the Shaftesbury Theatre, where the show recently extended its booking period through until Saturday 24 September 2022.

Mixing history, mystery, sword play and word play, JANE ANGER takes a jab at right-sizing Shakespeare and does so with hilarious results. Billed as a “Jacobean feminist revenge Comedy,” the one-act play written by Talene Monahon provides ample opportunity for us to hate on the egotistical bard while still swooning for the versatile actor who plays him (Michael Urie).
