Enjoy Shakespeare as the sun sets at Toronto’s Shakespeare in High Park
The production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at this year’s Shakespeare in High Park—currently running at the High Park Amphitheatre—is a straightforward adaptation of the classic play that sets itself apart with the high volume and calibre of comedy the cast is able to maintain.
Thousand Beginnings is a piece of performance art that combines intensely physical choreography, philosophical poetry, and visually dazzling prop work into happenings about the expectations of femininity a woman needs to shed to find peace. It’s a substantive debut from Under The Umbrella and a challenging addition to the Toronto Fringe that will leave plenty to ponder after the curtain falls.
Echoes, by Omnika In Motion, is a multi-disciplinary dance piece that reinterprets the classic trope of Jekyll and Hyde through props, shadow play, and genres as diverse as belly dance, jazz, hip-hop, and circus. Currently playing at Factory Theatre, the show represents a refreshingly plot-free, dialogue-free option compared to the more straightforward stories one might encounter at Toronto Fringe.
