Coming to STRATFEST@HOME on March 12: 1939.

Anticipating a visit by King George VI, an English teacher at a church-run residential school in Northern Ontario enlists her students in a production of All’s Well That Ends Well. But her rigid ideas of how Shakespeare should be performed are challenged as her Indigenous students find parallels between themselves and the characters in the play. Far from letting themselves be defined by colonial expectations, the students set out to make Shakespeare’s bittersweet comedy defiantly their own.

“1939 is a deft look at a number of contemporary ideas surrounding Shakespeare (and theatre)” – The Globe and Mail

Jani Lauzon and Kaitlyn Riordan’s ingenious and insightful new play made its world première on the Studio Theatre stage. Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, don’t miss this powerful performance from the Festival’s 2022 season.

1939 is available on STRATFEST@HOME ✨
