Midsummer Night’s Dream
January 14 – 26, 2020

Be as thou wast wont to be; See as thou wast wont to see.

A THEATRE RUSTICLE PRODUCTION

Shakespeare’s iconic A Midsummer Night’s Dream collides with Theatre Rusticle’s imagistic and physically poetic performance style to tell a lusciously dark story about love and a world out of balance. The company’s hallmark physicality bends this timeless fantasy, shattering the dusty myths and offering an intimate new view of lovers, fairies, theatre-makers, and Shakespeare.

“Theatre Rusticle works its typical magic to pare away, simplify and dig deep to realize the complex themes of the work in an absorbing, embracing production.  It’s a wonderful production. See it” -Lynn Slotkin on Our Town (2017)

Rush Tickets go on sale at noon for that day’s performance and can be purchased until 7:00pm on weekdays and 2:30pm on Sundays, or until they sell out – whichever comes first. For select performances, Rush Tickets are offered as Pay-What-You-Can, which means you pick the price. If cost is a barrier, this is your chance to get an affordable ticket. If you are able to pay more, this is your chance to increase your support for the work on stage and ensure it stays affordable for those who need it. 

Rush Tickets are generally only available in-person at our box office, and we recommend getting here early for more popular shows as these tickets can sell fast. However, if getting down here in the middle of the day presents a barrier – accessible transportation, childcare, etc – simply call the box office at 416-975-8555 and we’ll hold up to two Rush Tickets for you that you can purchase when you arrive to see the show.

Theatre Rusticle is one of Toronto’s leading physical theatre companies and has been hailed as one of Canada’s “most imaginative” by the Globe and Mail. For 20 years, Theatre Rusticle has pushed the boundaries of where the body and text collide and offered audiences a physical poetry and imaginative meal. Theatre Rusticle has garnered 12 Dora Mavor Moore Award nominations and last graced the Buddies’ stage with a groundbreaking production of Our Town in 2017.
