What can clowns teach us about the themes of love, power, fate, free will, and ambition? Laugh along with our clowns as they work together to explore three of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies (to the best of their ability)! 

This show was first produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Animating Toronto Parks program & Arts in the Park program, with funding made possible by the Toronto Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Foundation.

This show is also supported by Community Centre 55, Bard in the Park, and Ovation! Performing Arts Academy.
