Imagine epic, site-specific theatre with Ontario’s greatest outdoor spaces as powerful backdrops, where every performance is unique to each particular community. Driftwood Theatre’s Bard’s Bus Tour has been sharing theatre under the stars in places you love for 25 years.

 

This summer, Driftwood is breaking new ground adapting three of Shakespeare’s plays to tell the complete story of King Henry Five . It’s a play about family, inherited and chosen. It explores our fascination with the private lives of our public leaders. It’s about the stories we tell and the way we embellish them . And it’s all absolutely (un)true.

 

The Bard's Bus Tour is a 'pay-what-you-can' theatre experience, making quality theatre available to all. Suggested admission is $30/person. The performance begins at 7:30 pm outdoors at the Scugog Shores Museum Village.
