ShakeSpeare on the SaSkatchewan
Welcome to Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of the Métis. Whether you have been in the audience of every single production of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan in the last 34 years or this is your first time under these tents – welcome, from myself and the entire team. It is certainly an honour for me to get to work with this fantastic Shakespeare on the Sask family and to create a festival for such an amazing audience.
One of the pleasures that we have this year is to expand to three shows! It may not be every year that we get to do this so I would highly encourage you take advantage of it. It means that we have the pleasure of two amazing new guest directors – huge shout outs to Kelli and Greg. It also means that we get to take some more adventurous risks with our adaptation of Titus and bring you something completely outside the box.
You have surely caught wind of our exciting plans for the site redevelopment and will see much more on that as we get closer and closer to putting a shovel in the ground. Check out our renderings, consider supporting the campaign, and get ready for a whole new level of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan with that same great festival atmosphere. I want to thank all of the previous staff and leadership that got Shakespeare on the Sask to this amazing health where we could embark on this, and thank you as well the board members, staff, and volunteers now and in the past who have put immense effort into making these site plans come to this point. The folks who enjoy the next 50 years of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and indeed the entire community will benefit from that hard work.
As a director and designer, I must say that working on Titus A. puppet revenge has been of the most challenging and rewarding shows that I have ever had the fortune of working on. I am a believer in long artistic processes, innovative ways to combine Shakespeare’s brilliance and the modern world, and of artistic partnerships that allow for possibilities that no partner could achieve on their own. This show really epitomizes those things for me and is a poignant comment on our times. We have been working on this show for two years and the artistic leaders of it have been dreaming about it for decades in some cases. It was important for us as an organization to create this third offering as a place where we could take a risk and try to offer something truly unique. We have tried to be true to that and hope you take a risk with us and see where this goes.
My deepest thanks go to Kristi and Crispi of Stumped Productions for being risk takers on this adventurous partnership with us and for the incredible amount of work, dedication, and heart that they put into making this happen.
If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all.
Shakespeare tests us all as artists. With his best efforts, with plays like Hamlet, all we can do is attempt to rise to the genius of the text before us. Scholar Harold Bloom has famously claimed that Hamlet himself, as a character, represents the “Invention of the Human” on the stage. But all the characters in this play are enormously complex and contain a multitude of possible interpretations. In coming to this play as a director I knew I did not want to choose a historical period that would force strained justifications. And I wanted
to see if we could use the fact that we have gender parity on our casting, to explore the story from a fresh perspective. So, we have pushed the story 35 years into the future. The gender politics that are always there to be contended with are still there, but we have a different balance of power; which of course, just leaves us open to a different kind of power imbalance. Ophelia is stronger than we are used to seeing her, just enough to walk recklessly into danger by a different route. We have a Laertes whose claim for vengeance is based less in historic male honour, than in abiding familial devotion and a sense of betrayal. Our Polonius is a mother, whose concern for both of her children may supersede her own ambition. And, of course, Hamlet himself must be re-examined in such a society. We explore this territory not to attempt to improve on Shakespeare’s art, but to see what else it might reveal to us in a new context.
The Merry Wives of Windsor is a play about daily life. Of all his plays, it stands out because Shakespeare decided to shine his magical light on the ‘middle class’. He undoubtedly had a masterful understanding, and way of presenting regal worlds filled with queens and kings, but Merry Wives shows that he was equally adept at holding up the mirror for a more regular and common kind of human. With this play in particular, it seems like Shakespeare crafted a story inspired by his community. Following his lead, we decided to do the same. Drawing inspiration from the text, the artists in the company, and the people in our community and province, this is The Merry Wives of our world today. It’s a funnily familiar world, filled full with friends, fights, lies, laughter, and love. It’s a world that’s been crafted by an all star team of huge hearted artists, with you
specifically in mind. And, because of this amazing group of humans, it’s a world that I’ve been happily escaping to for the past few months. Tonight, it’s your turn to escape. Welcome to our Windsor.

Welcome to the 34th year of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Festival!
Be sure to enjoy all of our productions from the long-time favourite The Merry Wives of Windsor to the tragedy Hamlet, a particular favourite for our audiences, and this year promises to be no different. And don’t forget that we are presenting Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare’s first play. Just to make sure this special event is unforgettable, we have partnered with Stumped Productions, and the entire performance will be provided by puppets – 45 of them – the like of which you have never seen before! This is an incredible opportunity that most people will never have – a rare play and a unique delivery – don’t miss it!
Last year, we reversed the position of our performance tent to its current location at the north end of our site and had excellent feedback. So, in light of that, we are very pleased to continue with this configuration. And speaking of the site – the last two years have seen a lot of behind the scenes work as we prepare to renovate the grounds. Over the decades, our Festival site has been developed on an as-needed basis, with infrastructure added to meet developing needs. We are planning to undertake a major overhaul, which will address many issues all at once – and prepare the site for the long term. We will be redeveloping on the existing site, with a concrete base and risers – and yes, still with a tent overhead; new artist change building, combination administration and bar building, fresh permanent slabs for our community stage and break-out tents; and proper utilities and infrastructure. We are partnering with the MVA on pathway and natural scaping plans, which will result in the site – long closed to the public except when the Festival is active – being open year-round. We are working with the City to ask them to upgrade the washrooms across from our site, and development of a long-needed drop-off area for our audience and other users of the Meewasin Trail and area attractions. And – there’s lots to talk about – we have received proposals on an innovative and spectacular site lighting scheme, which we hope will develop into a significant area attraction.
We are all very thankful for the dedication and hard work of our staff, cast and crew, volunteers, board members and of course, our sponsors. Each plays a vital role in creating the unique experience that enchants audiences year after year. We could not possibly be successful without each and every one of their contributions.
Above all, welcome and thanks to you, our audience and our supporters. In our 34th performance year, I am sure you will agree that Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan continues to be the summer’s marquis performance event in our city and our province.

John Falstaff, has made his way to Windsor and is down on his luck. Thus, he decides the best option to restore his fortune is by seducing both Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page. He sends Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford identical love letters, but the two ladies compare their notes, and decide they’ll turn the tables on Falstaff. However, the husbands, Ford and Page, catch wind of the letters. Page dismisses the matter, but Ford decides to test his wife’s loyalty. Ford, pretending to be ‘Brook’, persuades Falstaff to act as a go-between to Mistress Ford on his behalf, but then learns Falstaff already has plans to meet her. Ford resolves to catch him, and almost does, but Falstaff narrowly escapes.
‘Brook’ hears of the escape from Falstaff himself, and learns that a second meeting with his wife has been set. This time, Ford gets even closer to trapping his foe, but Falstaff manages to escape once again. After, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page reveal all to their husbands, and a plan is made to teach Falstaff a final lesson in the forest of Windsor.
Meanwhile, throughout the play, three different people have been trying to win the hand of the Pages’ daughter, Anne. Mrs. Page promotes Doctor Caius, Mr. Page is leaning towards Slender, but Anne herself favours Fenton. Mrs. and Mr. Page decide to have each of their picks attempt to elope with Anne.
Only fate, however, can have the final say.

Prince Hamlet has been summoned home to Denmark from school to attend his father’s funeral, he is shocked to find his mother Gertrude already remarried. The Queen has wed Hamlet’s Uncle Claudius, the dead king’s brother. Worse still, Claudius has had himself crowned King. Hamlet suspects foul play. When his father’s ghost visits the castle, Hamlet’s suspicions are confirmed. The Ghost implies he was murdered by Claudius claiming poison was poured into his ear while he napped. He entreats Hamlet to avenge his death but to let Heaven decide the fate of Gertrude. Hamlet acts mad as a way of observing the interactions in the castle but finds himself confused. Hamlet’s sanity begins to be questioned by all and Claudius and Gertrude are both concerned. Polonius suggests it is his daughter Ophelia’s rejection of his advances which are the cause. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two childhood friends of Hamlet, are employed by Claudius to spy on him; however, Hamlet quickly realizes their intentions.
To determine the validity of his father’s murder Hamlet enlists the help of a troupe of players who perform a play in which Hamlet has them recreate the murder described to him. Claudius’s reaction to the scenes convince Hamlet that Claudius is the villain, and he resolves to kill him. In his hesitancy to kill Claudius, Hamlet causes six additional deaths including Polonius and Ophelia. Laertes, Ophelia’s brother, falls next as he plots with Claudius to kill Hamlet to avenge his father’s death. In the midst
of a duel, Laertes poisoned sword is picked up by Hamlet and Laertes is cut. However, Hamlet is dying from the same poison having been cut as well.
Gertrude, drinking a toast to her son’s victory drinks poison
intended for Hamlet. Leading Hamlet to finally kill Claudius.

SASKATOON’S RIVERBOAT
WelcomeAboard!
Titus Andronicus returns to Rome a hero after defeating the Goths in a ten-year campaign. Among his captives are Tamora, the queen of the Goths, her three sons, and her lover Aaron. Titus wants to give his fallen sons the funeral they deserve now that the war is over but a human sacrifice is suggested first. Titus singles out Alarbus, Tamora’s eldest son and despite Tamora pleading for his life, Titus sacrifices him. His actions begin a cycle of revenge between the two. Titus refuses the offer of the throne recommending Saturninus, the oldest son of the dead emperor. Saturninus wishes to take Titus’ beautiful daughter Lavinia as his wife and empress. However, she has been betrothed to Bassianus, Saturninus’ brother, who refuses to give her up. Saturninus then denounces the Andronici family and shocks Titus by marrying Tamora who begins plotting her revenge.
Meanwhile, Tamora’s sons Demetrius and Chiron have both fallen in love with Lavinia, and they quarrel over her. During a hunt in the woods, Tamora pretends Bassianus has threatened her and to avenge their mother her sons kill Bassianus and throw him in a pit, then drag Lavinia off to assault her. Aaron and Tamora then implicate Titus’s son in the murder of Bassianus. Saturninus imprisons him, and the court later sentences them to death in spite of Titus’s pleas. Titus is now desperate for revenge, as the loss of his sons as well as assault of his daughter takes a severe toll on him. In his fury, Titus sends his last son to gather an army of Goths before t a k i n g r e v e n g e into his own hand leading to nothing but more blood.
