WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S MACBETH

October 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 and November 1, 2 & 3

Written by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s unforgettable tragedy - thought to have been first performed in 1606 - dramatizes the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth commits crime after crime to claim the throne and protect himself from enmity and suspicion becoming a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death. In the backstage world of theatre, some believe that the play is cursed, and will not mention its title aloud, referring to it instead as The Scottish Play. Over the course of many centuries, the play has attracted some of the most renowned actors to the roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. It has been adapted to film, television, opera, novels, comics, and other media. Korda takes on The Scottish Play under the direction of Jeff Marontate, whose past Korda presentations of Shakespeare’s works include Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Comedy of Errors, Titus Andronicus, and As You Like It.

Music by Jeanine Tesori / Lyrics & Book by Lisa Kron

Based on Alison Bechdel’s best-selling graphic memoir

Welcome to a musical about a family that is nothing like yours… and exactly like yours; about looking back, and moving forward; about making sense of our parents, and ourselves. The winner of five 2015 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Fun Home is based on Alison Bechdel’s best-selling graphic memoir. This groundbreaking production introduces us to Alison at three different ages, revealing memories of her uniquely dysfunctional family that connect with her in surprising new ways. The story concerns Bechdel’s discovery of her own sexuality, her relationship with her gay father, and her attempts to unlock the mysteries surrounding his life. It is the first Broadway musical with a lesbian protagonist. David Burrows directs this thrilling musical for its Windsor Premiere.

STRANGERS AMONG US

May 25, 26, 27, 31 and June 1, 2 & 3

Written by Aaron Bushkowsky

In Bushkowsky’s beautiful Canadian Play, Strangers Among Us, Gabrielle and Michael meet by accident, fall in love, part, meet again and fall in love all over again. Every time they meet, they forget each other’s name because they suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, they end up at a long-term care facility where they meet other people suffering from the same malady, extraordinary people who live and die with courage and hope. Michael and Gabrielle find love again and again and, in the process, change the lives of the people around them. The director of this production will be determined at a later date.

“Brings tears and laughter… it is a drama with humour.” – Ingersoll Times.
