Freewill Shakespeare Festival 2011

Heritage Amphitheatre, Hawrelak Park 9930 Groat Road Edmonton, AB Ongoing through Sunday, July 24, 2011, 10:30pm The Freewill Shakespeare Festival is proud to present another summer of Shakespeare in the river valley, featuring Othello directed by Marianne Copithorne, and Twelfth Night directed by Theatre Network's Bradley Moss. Othello: The green-eyed monster of jealousy invades Cyprus as Othello is promoted to General of the Venetian army, and his dejected ensign Iago launches a sinister plot to poison Othello's mind. As lies of an affair between his wife and lieutenant Cassio unfold, Othello's jealous rage deepens — if only he knew the true enemy was the best friend at his side. Twelfth Night: Viola can't catch a break. She's been shipwrecked, her brother is missing, she's disguised as a man for protection, and the guy of her dreams has sent her to woo another woman. Now she's floating on a tumultuous sea of love that even the saltiest of sea dogs would refuse to sail. What's a gal wearing a fake, itchy moustache to do?
