"Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall"

Shakespeare’s dark comedy leads a compelling season by posing controversial ideas and by exploring the corrupting nature of power. Director Jonathan Munby (STC's 2009 hit, The Dog in The Manger) returns to direct this play of ethics and morality.

Recommended for ages 18 and above but may be suitable for mature audiences, 16 and above. Contains partial nudity, violent and adult situations.

Please note:  This performance starts with a pre-show cabaret 20 minutes before show time.  We invite you to arrive early to experience this exciting prologue. Those patrons arriving after the performance starts will be asked to wait in the lobby until the appropriate late-seating break.
