The Bell Shakespeare Company’s travelling caravan of artistes and menagerie of minstrels present the greatest playwrights on earth in a three-ringed triple bill for Season 2009. Grab your tickets, step right up and prepare to be dazzled as we explore a line-up alive with alluring ladies, mesmeric sleights of hand and the thrum of exotic music.

Mind your pockets as The Alchemist, featuring Patrick Dickson as Subtle, comes to town in Ben Jonson’s master work, heralded as one of the funniest plays ever written in the English language. Succumb to a mythical world of wonders as TaikOz and Damian Walshe-Howling drum up business in Shakespeare’s Pericles, a story of ancient lands and mysterious cultures. Prepare to be seduced by the all-girl revue when The Taming Of The Shrew, featuring Jeanette Cronin as Petruchio, crosses gender boundaries in the name of love.

There will be dancing girls. Incredible feats will be attempted. There will be magic before your very eyes. As they say on Coney Island, “Freaks, wonders and human curiosities! They’re here, they’re real and they’re alive!”
