I HAVE HAD A GREAT TIME
PUTTING TOGETHER
A CLASSIC SHAW FESTIVAL
SEASON FOR 2019.
I could afford to be bold in my choices, because of the incredible
Ensemble here: I have worked all over the world, but I have never
been blessed with such a strong group of actors. They can dance; they
can sing; they are great comedians; they can break your heart. Most
of all, they are masters of language. And they need to be. Just look at
the plays we have coming up: Man and Superman, Cyrano de Bergerac
and The Glass Menagerie are among the great masterpieces of world
theatre; plays like Mae West’s Sex and Howard Barker’s Victory may be
less well-known, but they demand equal brilliance from their actors;
while Patrick Hamilton’s murder thriller Rope and Shaw’s razor-sharp
comedy Getting Married will showcase the expertise of an Ensemble
steeped in the Shaw period.
Many of our plays are set in the past but we are also building the audience of the future. So if
you know a young person who’d like to experience the magic of theatre (or who loved our hugely
popular The Magician’s Nephew) bring them to the next in our Narnia series, The Horse and His
Boy. Or bring everyone you know to Brigadoon, the all-time classic musical that has it all: tears
and laughter, ravishing tunes and stunning dancing.
A trip to Niagara is worth lingering over. Why not combine a matinee with our lunchtime show, .
The Russian Play, a one-act tragicomedy by Hannah Moscovitch, or make a whole day of it with
Man and Superman with Don Juan in Hell? Don’t miss the chance to watch this epic play in its
entirety – with a special farm-to-table meal break in the middle. We feed your spirit and your
stomach here in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Finally, while it may seem a long way off, don’t miss your chance to get the seats you want for
Holiday Inn and A Christmas Carol. Several performances of the classic holiday offering featuring
Scrooge are already sold-out this year; my guess is that Holiday Inn will be the same. Book now
and smile at your friends as they scramble for tickets next November.
See you soon!

THE LADYKILLERS
By Graham Linehan
From the motion picture screenplay
by William Rose
By special arrangement with StudioCanal
and Fiery Angel, London
Directed by Tim Carroll
June 11 – October 12
Is it really so hard to kill one little old lady?
Based on one of the best-loved British films of
all time (featuring Alec Guinness), this comedy
tour-de-force is set in post-World War II London
where five oddball crooks pose as an amateur
string quintet in order to rent a room from a
little old lady. It is supposed to be the nerve
centre for their greatest ever heist, but things
soon start to get complicated. Even then, these
hardened criminals only need to commit one
easy murder to get clean away with the loot.
But are they up to it? After taking the West End
by storm, this deliciously macabre comedy now
makes its North American premiere.

Murder comes home to the Royal George. .
Two college students in 1920s London commit

GETTING MARRIED
By Bernard Shaw
Directed by Tanja Jacobs

Edith and Cecil were supposed to tie the knot.
But a pamphlet has arrived warning them of the
dangers of getting married. So now they’ve called
it off, sending their entire family into a frenzied,
fireworks-filled debate about marriage, society’s
best-loved institution: is it, in fact, anything more

THE RUSSIAN PLAY
LUNCHTIME ONE-ACT
By Hannah Moscovitch
Directed by Diana Donnelly
June 8 – October 12
A small-town flower girl falls for a gravedigger in
Stalinist Russia. What can go wrong? Well, it’s a
Russian play, so, everything. Written by award-
winning Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch,
this edgy, wildly original homage to the plays of the
great Russian playwrights will first make you laugh,
and then take your breath away. Mature content.
CYRANO DE BERGERAC
By Edmond Rostand
Translated and adapted for the stage by Kate Hennig
Directed by Chris Abraham
July 27 – October 20
Cyrano de Bergerac is a swashbuckling 17th century
swordsman who can do anything … except tell
Roxane, the woman he loves, how he feels. He’s just
too self-conscious about his unusually large nose.
Roxane is in love with words, so when Cyrano is
offered the chance to ghostwrite love letters to her
from an inarticulate, love-struck cadet, he takes it —
but can he ever reveal himself? A breathtaking tale
about the exquisite torture of loving from afar, for
anyone who has ever stood beneath a window.

8THE GLASS MENAGERIE
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by László Bérczes
May 22 – October 12
In his autobiographical masterpiece, Tennessee Williams
recalls growing up in the Depression-era Midwest with
his shy sister and their overbearing mother. A gentleman
caller seems to offer the chance of a new life – perhaps for
all of them. But can we ever truly escape the life we have
been given? And what would it cost? This quiet hurricane
of desire and longing is widely considered one of the
greatest American plays of all time.
Production Sponsor James F. Brown
SEX
A Comedy Drama
By Mae West
Directed by Peter Hinton
June 21 – October 13
Mae West created for herself the role of Margy LaMont, a
quick-witted, sharp-tongued prostitute in Roaring Twenties
Montreal who is looking for a better life. When she meets
a rich and ardent young lover, she seems to have hit
the jackpot. The trouble is, he doesn’t know the truth
about her. Can she keep her secret? Should she? Funny
and frank, this comic drama got its author locked up for
“corrupting the morals of youth.”
VICTORY
By Howard Barker
Directed by Tim Carroll
July 14 – October 12
Brutal and brilliant, this controversial play by Howard Barker
is set in the aftermath of Charles II’s Restoration on the
throne of England. The central character is Mrs Bradshaw,
a 17th century widow fighting to give her puritan husband a
proper burial — but to achieve this, she must take on a world
where base instincts are rampant and language is wielded as
a weapon. How much of her own human dignity is she willing
to risk? Powerful and challenging, this play may enrage you,
but it won’t leave you.
Warning: Victory is deliberately offensive. It is not for .
the squeamish and contains very strong language.
