“Bold and unexpected…sparkles and compels… does so with comedy.” - Toronto Star

It’s 1939, the year of King George’s first Royal Tour of Canada, and rumour has it that a Residential School in Northern Ontario is on the itinerary. As the Welsh English-teacher rehearses her students for a performance of All’s Well That Ends Well for the King, the Indigenous actors discover surprising parallels between their various cultures and Shakespeare’s script—and set out to make his bittersweet comedy their own.

1939 runs October 29 – November 24 with Pay What You Can tickets available for all performances.
