The Cherry Orhard

QAal Kozlik, Ken Jmaes Stewart, Ric Reid, Goldie Semple.

In The Cherry Orchard, Anton Chekhov tells the tale of an aristocratic family whose way of life seems to be disappearing, and with it, their beloved cherry orchard. On the verge of financial collapse, will they finally make the decision to sell their land to make way for holiday cottages? Or will they remain in blissful denial of the unstoppable nature of progress? This adaptation of The Cherry Orchard by one of Ireland’s leading contemporary playwrights, maintains all the power of this Russian classic, with an Irish twist.
“I have always thought the Russian and Irish temperaments were alike. We are thrilled to welcome Dublin director Jason Byrne to the Shaw Festival to continue the Irish take on this endlessly human play.” JM

Season: April 20 - October 2.

John Bull's Other Island

Patrick Galligan

The Shaw Festival in Niagara presents John Bull’s Other Island – a comedy by Bernard Shaw in which friends and business partners Broadbent and Doyle travel to a small town in Ireland with a business deal in mind. The Englishman, Broadbent, falls in love with everything about the place, including Nora Reilly, Doyle’s old flame. Doyle, the hometown boy, only sees a country trapped in its past. Shaw’s unromantic look at the romance of Ireland, and a play so funny that at a royal command performance, King Edward VII laughed so hard he broke his chair.

Season: June 18 - October 9.

An Ideal Husband

Clare Julien

In An Ideal Husband, by Oscar Wilde, fate catches up to Government Minister Sir Robert Chiltern when a mysterious woman produces a letter which reveals a past misdeed and a choice must be made between public scandal and the private shame of his wife. This Oscar Wilde work is a perfect mix of Wilde wit and intrigue. The Shaw Festival Theatre presents the social satire written by Oscar Wilde during his time at Goring on Thames. With An Ideal Husband, Oscar Wilde wanted to ensure he would enjoy public fame, and he was an advocate of making plays accessible to the public.  Patrons of the Shaw Festival theatre in Niagara will love this adaptation of a comedic classic by Oscar Wilde

Season: April 0 - October 31.

 


The Women

Laurie Paton, Deborah Hay and Julie Martell

“I don’t ask any man to understand me. How could he? I’m a woman.”

Welcome to a secret society – the world of women. In The Women, a 1930s Broadway hit by Clare Boothe Luce, a Manhattan socialite finds out her husband is cheating on her, and her girlfriends are no help at all. With manicured claws, these women are fighting to maintain their status while scheming to leave, steal or win back their own husbands. This classic play captures a world that only half the population ever really gets to see. A revealing look into the lives of the ladies-who-lunch that is clever, cut-throat and full of outrageous humour.

“A play that takes place in women’s boudoirs, salons, bubble baths and powder rooms – information for the men in the audience, confirmation for the women and a true celebration of the extraordinary actresses in our company.” JM

Season: May 12 - October 9.


The Doctor's Dilemna

Graeme Somerville, Richard Stewart, Andrew Bunker, Mark Uhra and Peter Kranz.

A doctor who has discovered a lifesaving cure must make an impossible decision. Who should he treat: a kindly colleague who serves the poor, or an extremely talented but unscrupulous young artist, who also happens to have a beautiful young wife? When there’s only room for one more, who can he afford to save? The Doctor’s Dilemma is Bernard Shaw’s comic exploration of the medical establishment and the value of art.
“As is so often the case with Bernard Shaw, the ethical question he rolls out in this piece is alarmingly timeless.” JM

Season: June 10 - October 30.

Season: April 1 - October 31.

One Touch of Venus

Sach Dennis

“Some girls have a touch of Venus, which can help a girl a lot. Why describe a touch of Venus? You either have it or not.”

The ancient goddess of love visits Manhattan in this musical fantasy. A modern art collector brings a statue of Venus to town. Through the magic of a ring, Venus comes to life, falls for a barber named Hatch and chases him all over New York. But will this wild woman allow herself to be tamed? A comic caper from the pen of the Marx Brothers’ writer S.J. Perelman and New Yorker poet Ogden Nash, with classic Weill songs like “Speak Low” and “I’m A Stranger Here Myself.”

Serious Money takes a look at the London Stock Market in the 1980s, a place that was like the new Wild West – a land of corporate raiders and stock traders created by a financial boom that seemed to have no end.

Onegin

The full company of The Royal Ballet are on stage for the drama and passion of john Cranko's Onegin. The new Season begins with a full-length ballet that shows to the full the great storytelling skill of its choreographer and has a wealth of magical moments, from intimate solos to grand ensembles. At the heart of the story - taken from Pushkin's great novel by Yyvgeny Onegin - are Tatiana and Onegin himself. While she blooms from provincial young girl to sophistcated St. petersburg aristocrat, he descends from high-handed indifference to overwhelming despair. There is the drama of a duel in which Onegin kills his best friend Lensky, and the tragedy this brings to Lensky's own love Olga. And there is the ultimate irony of double unrequited love - while Onegin at the first spurns Tatiana, it is her rejection of him that will bring down on him the final crushing blow.
Stage designs and music taken from Tchaikovsky in a specially created score bring vividly alive the world of imperial Russia to complete a ballet of colour, drama, beauty and passion.
Season: September 20 - October 9.

 

Opera

The Royal Opera

Cosi fan tutte

The new Royal Opera season begins with a great audience favourite - both in opera and its production. This great comedy with an edge brings a classic score by Mozart to a witty story of deception and trust to its limit. Can two apparently faithful couples have their affections altered by some apparently harmless deception?
Johathon Miller's ever-popular production updates the 18th-century to today - while fasion and technology may have changed since Mozart's time, human behaviour remains as fickle and manipulative as ever.

The world's longest-running play of any kind, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap is now in it's 52nd year!

A West End staple for over 50 years, The Mousetrap is the longest consistently running play in the history of British theatre.

This world record breaking production continues to enthral, to entertain and to thrill audiences who still flock to the St Martin's Theatre from every corner of the globe. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner....

The Mousetrap has been thrilling audiences from around the world for as long as Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne. They have shared Silver and Ruby jubilees and recently both enjoyed their Golden celebration.

During this phenomenal run there have been no fewer than 297 actors and actresses appearing in the play, 86 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 320 tons of ice cream sold. Some cast members are in the Guinness Book of Records, David Raven as the 'Most Durable actor' for 4575 performances as Major Metcalf, and the late Nancy Seabrooke for a record breaking 15 years as an understudy.

In 2000 the set was replaced for the first time during the run at St Martin's Theatre, still to the same design as the original. This task was completed over a weekend without the loss of a performance.

Join the millions who have already discovered whodunnit, but will not share their secret...

Of Mice and Men

Through Steinbeck's genius, George and Lennie's mutual bond of love achieves a mythical quality, raw with the pain of isolation, and the ache we all feel for a place called "home".
