Play – Hamlet

The Glengarry Pioneer Museum is bringing Ottawa’s “A Company of Fools” to Dunvegan to perform one of William Shakespeare’s most popular plays, Hamlet.

This Shakespeare-in-the-park theatre company is known for their colourful, family-friendly versions of Shakespeare’s work. There will be puppets, there will be swordfights, and there might even be a scary ghost! If you cannot remember the story of Hamlet, that’s no problem. This will be an entertaining 90-minute show to blast you back to your high school English class – with more excitement and theatrical deaths than you likely remember! Whether you are a Shakespeare nerd or this is your first foray with the Bard since high school, this foolish take on Hamlet has something for everyone.

Audience members are encouraged to come early – the gates open at 5:30 p.m., and bring your favourite lawn chair. Refreshments and homemade desserts will be available for sale. Picnic dinners will also be available by reservation through the museum’s website www.glengarrypioneermuseum.ca. Tour the historic buildings, check out the museum’s gift shop and enjoy the show!
