William Shakespeare's "As You Like It, A Radical Retelling" by Cliff Cardinal
Friday, February 21, 2025, 2000 - 2130
"Cliff Cardinal is a Canadian Cultural Icon in 2022" - The Globe and Mail
The title of William Shakespeare's As You Like It holds a double meaning that teasingly suggests this is a play to please all tastes. Is it possible? With his subversive updating of the Bard's classic, cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal seeks to find out. The show exults in dark humor, difficult subject matter, and raw emotion. Bear these words in mind;
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head
- AS YOU LIKE IT, William Shakespeare
Cast will be announced at each performance.
Cliff Cardinal is a polarizing writer and performer known for his black humor and compassionate poeticism. His As You Like It, a radical retelling has been performed across Canada, was shortlisted for the Ontario Trillium Book Award, and was the recipient of the prestigious Governor General's Literary Award for Drama.
