Canada’s The Classical Theatre Project shatters modern preconceptions about the dryness of Shakespeare by staging The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), which zips through all 37 of the bard’s plays in less than 97 minutes, playfully reducing complex plots to their constituent parts. The pared down storytelling simultaneously reveals the archetypal resonances between the works while humorously making light of the prolific playwright’s commonly recycled plot elements such as mistaken identity, dramatic last-act deaths, and tyrannical kings who forced their courts to rhyme in every sentence. The three-person cast engages patrons with high-energy interaction, tearing down the fourth wall with gleeful abandon to talk to audiences and pull showgoers into their madcap scenes.
Casa Loma
Guests enjoy the concentrated drama beneath the stars on the garden terrace of Casa Loma. Built by soldier, businessman, and philanthropist Sir Henry Pellatt in 1910 as his private residence, Casa Loma combines Europe’s medieval castles with Gilded Age sensibility, featuring soaring battlements, secret passageways, and vats of boiling petticoats to fend off bands of marauding flappers.
