Driftwood Theatre is Ontario’s most exciting, accessible theatre, having performed for nearly 70,000 children, parents, and grand-parents since 1995. Ontario’s longest-running professional, outdoor, summer-touring theatre company has been spinning tales of love, jealousy, revenge, intrigue and humour for fifteen years. Its source material is nothing less than the greatest playwright ever celebrated in the English language – William Shakespeare. Its methods are nothing less than spectacular – thrilling performances, beautiful costumes, clownish masks, gleeful puppets and the unparalleled sound of the human voice in a cappella song.
