VENUE UPDATED TO VICTOR MITCHELL THEATRE TO ALLOW FOR DISTANCED SEATING
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) takes us from a dusty office in Queen’s University, into the worlds of two of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, and turns them upside-down. Constance is the beleaguered academic and unlikely heroine who embarks on a quest for Shakespearean origins and, ultimately, her own identity. Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is a gender-bendy, big-hearted and crazily intelligent romp, where irony and anger sing in perfect harmony with innocence and poignancy.

The Pirates of Penzance
Directed by Paige Fossheim, Music Direction by Winnifred Hume, and Choreography by Karen Iwanski
at the Pumphouse Theatres April 29 – May 12, 2022
Strike up the band for one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most beloved operettas! The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music, including the iconic “Major-General’s Song”. This is the play that cemented the comic-pirate theme in popular culture, a theme that has lasted through more than a century and spawned countless movies and novels. Jam-packed with sentimental, swashbuckling pirates, a completely dotty Major General and a bumbling bunch of hopeless but hilarious policemen, what could possibly go wrong? To add to the topsy-turvy nature of G&S, Morpheus will be flipping the genders of all your favourite characters.
