Twelfth Night
Driftwood Theatre Group: The Bard’s Bus Tour
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
The Driftwood Theatre Group, Ontario’s most accessible theatre company, launches its 16th season with one of William Shakespeare’s most loved comedies, TWELFTH NIGHT, on tour in Ontario between July 8 and August 15. TWELFTH NIGHT tells the story of one young woman’s journey of self-discovery amid a strange, new world after a tragic shipwreck separates her from her brother - the only family she has. Set within the strange, almost fantasy-like world of Illyria, TWELFTH NIGHT is a tale of illusion, deception, disguises, madness, and the extraordinary things that love can make us to do – and see. It is a romance couched in a comedy and laced with subtle hints of darkness.
Provincial Tour Schedule: July 8 – August 15, 2010
Tuesdays through Sundays at 7:30pm
All performances are Pay-What-You-Can Admission (suggested $15/person)

July 27-31 at 8 p.m. and July 31 at 2 p.m.
Sure to put a smile on your lips and a tear in your eye, this nostalgic and moving musical comedy celebrates the Golden Age of Television. Benjy, a freshman writer on a 1950s TV show, is assigned the daunting task of baby-sitting a veteran Hollywood actor, Swann, during a live guest appearance on the show. Keeping the reckless star off the booze and out of the papers during the rehearsal week nearly drives Benjy to the brink. But when he's given an unexpected glimpse into Swann's broken heart, he learns a big lesson about human frailty, tragedy, comedy, and love. Book by Joseph Dougherty. Music by Stephen Flaherty. Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
