Shakespeare In Paradise

"Give me your hand, I begin to have bloody thoughts."

It's nine pm on a Monday night and here we are at The Dundas Centre for Performing Arts. Patti is fuming at Caliban again and dreary faces mask even more dreary souls. But we persist. The Tempest is nearing it's first performance at a rapid rate - next week thursday. There is a ton of work to be done and everyone - even Caliban - is committed. Why? It's a world class theatre festival meant for you - the public.

"...and I your Caliban forever your FOOT LICKER!"

It's not joke that we're tired as hell, that's obvious. The humor of it is that nobody would quit or even think of it at this stage - this is too much fun! We're learning more and more about each other and ourselves. We want to do this the best way we can and we love it. Rehearsals are tedious and tricky with each character searching for his or her own identity. The directors are delightful - believe me - and we really are one close family.

Come see The Tempest starting October 8th to the 11th. Come watch our work. =p
