We are very pleased to have performed Skirts in the Forest in its official debut at the 2019 Ottawa Fringe Festival, and we are deeply grateful to the audience for responding so positively to our bardic tomfoolery. We hope to see you all again soon!
Four cross-dressing Shakespearean heroines run into each other in the Forest of Lost Plots. They’re feisty, they’re fighting, they’re directionally challenged, and Hamlet keeps getting on their case. With only the Complete Works of Shakespeare to guide them, they have to navigate through the tragedies without too much murder, mayhem, or saying ‘Macbeth.’
