As You Like It: A Radical Retelling


by Cliff Cardinal

a Crow’s Theatre production

From Cliff Cardinal, creator of Huff, Stitch, and CBC Special, comes a new realization of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Known for his cutting humour, Cardinal’s take on the Bard’s classic brings renewed energy to this twisting comedy about the trials of love and mistaken identity in the lush Forest of Arden. Cardinal’s unpredictability is in full force in this new adaptation. You’ve never seen Shakespeare like this.

Please Note: This production is a radical retelling of As You Like It.

Due to the nature of this production, our regular access materials will not be available. We appreciate that this change may not support everyone looking to see this production. Our access initiatives are not one-size-fits-all, they are particular for every production that comes to our stage. GCTC's access initiatives don't match with what this production is doing, and therefore we are not offering them on this specific production.

Our Pay-What-You-Decide Sunday matinee and reduced capacity performance with masks required continue to be available for this production.

No latecomers will be admitted, and there is no re-admittance if you leave the theatre after the performance begins.

Accessibility Info

  • Previews are public performances before the official opening to allow the director, design team, cast, and crew to make small adjustments to the show that weren't found during rehearsals before critics are invited to attend. For mainstage shows, previews are the 1st Tuesday and 1st Wednesday of the show.

  • The 1st Sunday of each mainstage production is Pay-What-You-Decide (PWYD) Sunday. Any remaining tickets 24 hours before this performance can be purchased for any price you decide. These are available by calling or coming into the box office. PWYD is not currently available online.

  • Some of our shows are sold at 50% capacity, for those who are looking for a bit more space between you and your seat-neighbour.

  • To provide more financial accessibility to attending theatre at GCTC, we are offering limited Pick-Your-Price tickets available for each performance. Pick-Your-Price tickets are available for $15, $25, and $35. Pick whichever price makes the most sense for you.
