IT’S A NICE PROBLEM TO HAVE: HOW TO IMPROVE ON LAST SEASON? After the success of last season, we are riding high at The Shaw. So now we have to try to do even better. We’ve shown that we can do great musicals? Then let’s do two of them. Gypsy and Assassins are two of the peaks of American Musical Theatre, mixing great drama and great tunes to create something really special. We’ve shown that we are masters of comedy? Then let’s do one of the best, Charley’s Aunt. And we’ve shown that we can do justice to the genius of Bernard Shaw, so let’s put his most popular play, The Devil’s Disciple, on the Festival stage. Every show in the season will feature audience favourites, new and old: Sherlock Holmes and The Raven’s Curse is a good example. I’m directing Charley’s Aunt and the lunchtime one-act, Virginia Woolf’s delightful Flush: the love story of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, seen through the eyes of her cocker spaniel. The Royal George will also be home to Narnia, as we present our family show, Prince Caspian, in which Lucy and the other Pevensie children meet some remarkable creatures and talking trees. Oh – and you know how you wished you could see Me and My Girl again? Well, you can: it’s our holiday treat for Christmas 2020, along with A Christmas Carol. Don’t leave it too late to book. Tim Carroll Artistic Director
Kate Hennig.
FESTIVAL THEATRE April 8 – October 11
GYPSY
A Musical Fable, Book by Arthur Laurents
Music by Jule Styne, Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Suggested by memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee
Original production by David Merrick & Leland Hayward
Entire production originally directed & choreographed by Jerome Robbins
Directed and choreographed by Kimberley Rampersad
AMERICAN MUSICAL Gypsy Rose Lee was the world’s most famous
striptease artist; Mama Rose the ultimate stage mother. Follow their
extraordinary story in Stephen Sondheim’s timeless musical about
sex, power and longing. With legendary songs, including “Let Me
Entertain You” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” Gypsy remains
the greatest American musical. Grade 7+

THE DEVIL’S DISCIPLE
By Bernard Shaw
Directed by Eda Holmes
CLASSIC SHAW Dick Dudgeon is one of Shaw’s great puzzles.
To the people of his Revolution-era New England town he is
“the Devil’s disciple.” But when British soldiers come to take
their Presbyterian minister to the gallows for helping the rebels,
Dudgeon does something truly remarkable. A potent mixture of
sex and danger, Shaw’s first major hit has some of his best scenes
and his sharpest comedy. Grade 7+
Production Sponsor William & Nona Macdonald Heaslip Foundation

SHERLOCK HOLMES
AND THE RAVEN’S CURSE
By R. Hamilton Wright
Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Directed by Craig Hall
MURDER MYSTERY He’s back. Everyone’s favourite detective returns to
The Shaw - but this time it’s personal. When his much-loved uncle dies
in mysterious circumstances, Sherlock must revisit the scenes (and
loves) of his youth. Is there really a curse on his family? Will he – or
perhaps his beautiful and brilliant cousin – be the next victim? Holmes
and Watson have to race against time to solve the puzzle. Grade 7+

Commissioned and presented by the Shaw Festival
Directed by Ravi Jain
EPIC DRAMA Presented in conjunction with Toronto’s innovative
Why Not Theatre, Mahabharata is a two-part (Part 1: Karma and
Part 2: Dharma) contemporary take on a Sanskrit epic that is more
than four thousand years old and foundational to Indian culture.
This gripping story of a family feud is an exploration of profound
philosophical and spiritual ideas. Mahabharata is a visually stunning
spectacle presented in two parts that takes audiences on a journey
through the past in order to write a thrilling new future. Call group
sales for details. Grade 9+

CHARLEY’S AUNT
By Brandon Thomas
Directed by Tim Carroll
LAUGH-OUT-LOUD-COMEDY Today’s the day. If Charley and Jack don’t
tell Amy and Kitty how they feel about them, the college term will
finish and they may never see them again. But their plan to invite
the young ladies for lunch depends on the presence of Charley’s
visiting Brazilian aunt. When she lets them down at the last moment,
all hope seems to have gone. Except that their friend, Fancourt
Babberley, happens to be on his way to a fancy-dress party … hilarity
ensues in this laugh-out-loud comedy. Grade 6+

PRINCE CASPIAN
Adapted for the stage by Damien Atkins
Based on the novel by C.S. Lewis
Directed by Molly Atkinson
NARNIA ADVENTURE After the success of The Magician’s Nephew
and The Horse and His Boy, we return to Narnia with a gripping
adventure based on one of the best-loved C.S. Lewis books.
Young Prince Caspian has all the courage in the world, but he
will need the four Pevensie children to help defeat his wicked
uncle and restore peace to the land of Narnia. Featuring a battle
scene so epic that even the trees join in, this is a wild ride for
the whole family. Grade 1+

FLUSH LUNCHTIME ONE-ACT
Based on the novella by Virginia Woolf
Adapted and directed by Tim Carroll
A DOG’S TALE One of the greatest love stories of all time, seen
through the eyes of a dog. Not any old dog: Flush was the subject
of some delightful verses by Elizabeth Barrett, the invalid poet
who amazed the world by eloping with Robert Browning. Virginia
Woolf’s ‘biography’ of one of history’s greatest cocker spaniels is
a comic masterpiece about much more than a dog. Grade 7+
Production Sponsor James & Diane King

ASSASSINS
Book by John Weidman
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr
Directed by Meg Roe
SONDHEIM MUSICAL Who on earth would want to kill an American
president? Nine people have tried, four successfully. That’s not
obvious material for a musical – unless you’re Stephen Sondheim.
With music that spans the lifetime of the United States, he creates
a carnival show, in which the nine assassins and would-be assassins,
from John Wilkes Booth to Sara Jane Moore, tell their stories. The
result is a bold and brilliant piece of theatre from the undisputed
master of the modern musical. Mature content. Grade 9+
Production Sponsor James F. Brown
9JACKIE MAXWELL STUDIO THEATRE May 6 – September 6
THE PLAYBOY OF THE
WESTERN WORLD
By J.M. Synge
Directed by Jackie Maxwell
IRISH COMEDY A murderer walks into a bar. Only, this being the
wild West of Ireland, the man who has ‘killed his Da’ is greeted
as a welcome relief from the monotony of life. To the landlord’s
daughter Pegeen Mike, who is facing the imminent prospect
of marrying a farmer, the mysterious Christy Mahon seems
to embody all the danger and fearlessness that she has long
dreamed of. But then his Da turns up. And he’s not dead. Grade 9+

DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS
By Eugene O’Neill
Directed by Selma Dimitrijevic
AMERICAN DRAMA Eugene O’Neill’s masterpiece of erotic desire
takes a Greek tragedy and sets it on an American Gothic farmstead.
The son can see that his father’s new young wife plans to push him
out. His passionate hatred for her is only matched by hers for him.
Blinded by passion, they are set on a collision course. But the rest
of the world is not blind. Grade 12+

TROUBLE IN MIND
By Alice Childress
Directed by Philip Akin
GROUNDBREAKING PLAY This should have been the first play by a black
woman on Broadway. But in 1955 Alice Childress refused to have it
staged on the Great White Way. Why? Because it is a play about white
people putting on plays about black people, and the compromises that
black artists have to make to work in the prevailing culture. Childress
chose not to make the kind of compromise that Willetta, the heroine
of her play, has spent her life wrestling with. A devastatingly observant
satire on the rehearsal hall as a microcosm of society, this funny and
moving play is a piece for our times. Mature content. Grade 9+
