A puppet-powered parody of Romeo and Juliet
After a sold-out run of Little Dickens in 2022, world-renowned Canadian artist Ronnie Burkett returns to Canadian Stage with his irreverent army of marionettes, this time with a sassy take on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Burlesque star Dolly Wiggler starts the show with an Elizabethan striptease in this riotously funny improvised mash-up of one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays. All the leading ladies of the Daisy ensemble battle for the role of Juliet, including faded diva Esme Massengill in a boozy interpretation of the lovesick ingénue. Beloved audience favourites Schnitzel and Mrs. Edna Rural are back in supporting roles, and adding to the fun and mayhem, The Bard himself joins The Daisy Theatre cast for a twisted retelling of this tragic romance – with strings attached.
Little Willy is intended for adult (16+) audiences only. Children under 16 will not be admitted.
