This play was hilarious, never laughed so much. Excellent casting, everyone very suited for their roll. The only complaint I would have is that it was a little too long. The Afternoon Tea was very good, enjoyed it very much. The sandwiches were delicious, but the dessert was disappointing!
So impressed with the cast and production of Twelfth Night. The music blended seamlessly into the storyline and added so much ! Well done to all!!
The play was hilarious. Well casted. The actors held up really well in the heat. Love the interaction with the audience. Preferred the tent in previous years' location. We usually got a nice breeze coming in from the entrance in past years. This time it wasn't reaching the audience coming in from the back of the tent.
We were treated to an evening of music and hilarity combined with "Twelfth Night". The performers sang and played their way through every act thoroughly charming us. It was an enjoyable evening. I will not miss the other offering, Richard III.
Great production, excellent acting by all performers!
We saw A Midsummer Night's Dream on the last night of the festival and spent the whole show laughing. As in other years, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan gave a master class in how to present a Shakespeare comedy. Stellar cast, great translation of the text into hilarious action.
Whimsical, brilliant and unforgettable. I remember taking this play in grade 9 many many moons ago. I knew it wasn't a delightful comedy. The actors were absolutely brilliant, professional wonderful characters, all of them were top notch. Enjoyed every single one of them. A must see.I go back again in a heartbeat.
The all female cast of J.Caesar was outstanding! The performance was enthralling and thoroughly enjoyable. The script was well written and the set and costumes were fantastic. This was my first Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan experience and I can't wait to go again.
Loved the show. We especially liked the intimate atmosphere, close to the actors. For sure I would go earlier next time, and have the dinner, or at least a drink before the show.
Super enjoyable performance by each and everyone of the cast members. Amazingly talented group. Humorous story. Would highly recommend this show. Will await its return to the theatre.
Julius Caesar is by virtue of its contend a violent play. I've seen it many times and have enjoyed each performance - except this one. In the case of Julia Caesar,the violence turned to screaming, and one giant shouting match. Given the pitch of the female voice, a lot of this over the top screaming resulted in inaudible dialogue, and a lost performance. I don't fault the actors. Toning down the screaming was the job of the director,who definitely dropped the ball on this one. Of all the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan productions we've seen, this is by far our least favorite.
Outstanding acting - very real and engaging. Very effective staging and costuming. You made this play fresh and exciting for me again.
The all-female cast was a welcomed twist to this story. Only weak points were that one actress appeared to be a bit under the weather, but she didn't miss a beat. Just a little trouble with voice projection. Concise, well-acted. Great costuming. Would recommend.
Our family loves plays. The Roving Show was a new experience for us. We loved the scene changes as the play progressed through the park. The actors were outstanding and did a great job covering multiple characters. We had no trouble hearing them even though the play was outdoors with no audio equipment. Our three children really enjoyed the experience as did we. I think it may become and annual tradition.
Loved the costumes, acting, make-up, modernized dialogue, and everything.
I went with my older sister and a young niece. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting was absolutely professional. Unreal, the powerful voices coming from those petite ladies.
A most enjoyable evening at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. The setting, the amazing tent and the play...it was all wonderful. I was with two friends and all of us agreed that the play was well acted and exciting.
A bit concerned at first about the costuming, but the acting over rode any costume concerns. Still didn't get the connection between steam punk and anything that happened on stage. There is usually an obvious connection, but this time it escaped me. As for the production - I would definitely recommend it. Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan is always an adventure and this years A Midsummer Night's Dream was no exception. Looking forward to Julia?
I thoroughly enjoyed this production! The costuming and the interpretation were unique. The acting was superb and I laughed throughout the whole play! It was truly amazing and definitely something you would not want to miss! A "Very well done" to the players of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan!!!
all-female cast did a disservice to the play .. My suggestion is not to try and improve on the bard.. but to try and send the play's message as Shakespeare sent it ...and keep the stage
