NEWS

Shakespeare BASH'd is back and excited to welcome back audiences for the first time since early 2020!

In the past we have loved working in bars, and though we were forced to take a brief pandemic hiatus, this season we are back and moving “Beyond the Bar”! Although we still think Shakespeare goes great with a pint, we want our shows to be a safe, fun, exciting night out.

The season:

The Tragedy of King Lear, by William Shakespeare
February 2023 at The Theatre Centre Incubator (1115 Queen St W, Toronto)

Initially planned for 2021, we're thrilled to finally be bringing this classic to life, featuring Tony and Olivier nominated Scott Wentworth in the title role. The production will be directed by James Wallis.

'Tis Pity She’s a Whore, a staged reading, by John Ford
Spring 2023

The company returns to a reading that had to be postponed three-years prior: John Ford's ghastly masterpiece 'Tis Pity She's a Whore. The city is embracing depravity, and declining into violent and religious hypocrisy. Two siblings begin an incestuous affair with one another, as the world around them slowly corrodes.

The Revenger's Tragedy, a staged reading, by Thomas Middleton (?)
Spring 2023

This grotesque spectacle, both disturbing and hilarious, takes many ideas from the popular revenge story of its time, similar to Hamlet. The passionate revenger, Vindice, looks to right the wrongs of his brutal and depraved society by becoming a cog in the machine of wealth, power, and debauchery.
