Previewĭirected by : Marianne Copithorne and Dave Horak Written by emerging Edmonton playwright Ben Stevens, this is a separate, ticketed performance that runs at different times than shows on the main stage. The other production is But Hark, A Voice, which sees a group of bumbling Shakespearean characters (the rude mechanicals in A Midsummer Night’s Dream) rove throughout the festival site, staging hilarious scenes for patrons.

One is a free puppet show to help both youth and adults alike better understand the plays. Thou Art Here, an alternative Shakespeare company that brings the Bard’s work and adaptations to unexpected places, has two themed events at this year’s festival. There are pub nights featuring beer and fresh pretzels, wine pairing events, a barbecue feast and a high tea.

The festival is a casual affair if you can’t sit in one of the Heritage amphitheatre’s 1,100 seats, remember blankets and picnics on the grass can be more fun, plus you can snooze.
Those modern touches are part of what continues to make the Freewill Shakespeare Festival accessible to the audience, which has been the goal of the festival since its inception. “It’s really nice to see more (women in Hamlet) than just Ophelia and Gertrude,” she says. Hamlet’s friends Rosencrantz and Horatio are played as female characters, because Copithorne imagines that a younger Hamlet living in a contemporary time would have had female friends. Hamlet has its own gender-bending elements. “He does such a brilliant job he’s a thrill to watch.” “It has a different perspective, and it’s fantastic to look at Hamlet through the eyes of Hunter Cardinal,” says Copithorne. Copithorne, however, has cast Hunter Cardinal, 25, in the role of a modern-day prince. Prior to that moment there was nothing during and after that moment there was something: our. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Though Shakespeare wrote him as a college student, he is most often played by a man of about 40, as there is a sense it takes gravitas born of experience to play the role. The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe.

The Freewill Shakespeare Festival’s presentation of Hamlet stars Hunter Cardinal in the title role. The two leads in Comedy of Errors (who are male characters) are played by women with drawn-on moustaches - Belinda Cornish and Kristi Hansen - and there are a lot of women dressed in male drag, “which is super fun to watch,” says Copithorne. She has roughly the same number of each gender in the cast, rather than tilting toward male, as is common with Shakespeare productions. This season, influenced in part by present-day controversies over the lack of diversity in entertainment, Copithorne decided to address the historical inequity in casting with Shakespeare.

Of course, the problem with used tires is that they tend to be full of standing water, so the set was inadvertently a virulent breeding ground for mosquitoes. MacDonald recalls one set crafted for 12th Night from 1,200 used tires. Scrounging was the lifeblood of the company. The players passed the hat at the end of the show to pay themselves actors made $200 on a good week.

The troupe, including stalwarts still on the local scene such as Annette Loiselle and Troy O’Donnell, went into debt to hire a professional director.
“So we decided to launch something to showcase ourselves and contribute to the theatre community of Edmonton.”Ĭomedy of Errors was the first show, recalls MacDonald, now based in Kamloops as artistic director of Western Canada Theatre. “Most of it came out of the fact that we’d been a pretty good class, full of vim and energy, and most theatre students have trouble finding work right out of school,” James MacDonald says of those early days.
