Shakespeare’s bombastic comedy about Love transformed has not been performed at the Ruins since 1995! The play is primed for a joyous revival. The Trappist park will effortlessly transform itself into the Forest of Arden, where young lovers and age-old fairies wage battles of power and desire. This is Shakespeare’s first great comedy, and undoubtedly one of his most enduringly popular. It has all the ingredients of a classic romantic comedy: a magical setting; a merry go round of earnest young lovers; a fairy king and queen; a troop of hapless comic actors…all given a supernatural spin over a single moonlit night.
A promenade performance at The Ruins @ Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park
