The Tempest
January 18–28, 2024
“One of Canada’s most imaginative theatre companies”
— The Globe and Mail
A Theatre Rusticle production
Shakespeare meets Theatre Rusticle’s physical poetry once again in The Tempest. Their inimitable style cracks open the bard’s final play, unearthing a story about freedom, love and paths to truth. Told by five performers traversing 15 plus characters, Theatre Rusticle collides head-on with Shakespearean myth, magic, harsh history, and all the ways we make theatre.
