Shakespeare in the Ruins going home to the ruins
SHAKESPEARE in the Ruins is heading back to the ruins.
The theatre troupe has called a press conference for Friday when it will announce that its upcoming production of Henry V will be staged again at the Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park.
It's been 10 years since SIR was forced out of its sylvan birthplace over an unresolvable conflict with the St. Norbert Arts Centre, setting the organization on a decade-long search for a home stage. The journey started with a memorable Romeo and Juleit atop a six-storey parkade on Portage Avenue in 2003 and ended last summer with a Henry IV, Parts I and II in a tent pitched in a Assiniboine Park parking lot. In between, Shakespeare plays were presented promenade style inside the Park's Conservatory, the fields of Lagimodiére-Gabouray Historic Park in St. Boniface and various locales in Assiniboine Park.
SIR presents Henry V from May 31 to June 23.
