Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan
Now – Sun.
SOTS Site
You have one final weekend to see the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Festival in our city. This season offers two beloved tales from The Bard with a twist. Julius Caesar is hitting the stage with a modern day flare as Brutus, a politician on the rise, is torn between his hunger for power and his loyalty to Caesar. Much Ado About Nothing is a swashbuckling trip to the island of Messina where we meet Don Pedro and his band of pirates enjoying the spoils of their treasure trove until young Claudio falls in love with Hero, the daughter of Messina’s leader. These shows are a beloved tradition in Saskatoon and you can get tickets for $35 – $54.
