Shakespeare’s Villains

by Steven Berkoff

Join us at Saddlery on Market (likely where Shakespeare spent a good deal of his time - well, not Saddlery on Market, obvs, but you know what we mean…Elizabethan era, bad water, so…beer, so…the pub).

Steven Berkoff, master of playing the villain on screen (“Octopussy,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” etc.), has written a play about some of Shakespeare’s most notorious villains. With often darkly hilarious, contemporary analyses of character and classifications of villainy, the narrative eventually gives way to Shakespeare’s words and the villains who spoke them. Native Winnipegger, Kelly Daniels, directs multi-nominated, stage veteran and 17 year Shaw Festival Ensemble Member, Ric Reid, in this “masterclass in evil.”
