90 Mins

Guloien Theatre

Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head

As You Like It, William Shakespeare

The title of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It holds a double meaning that famously teases, this is a play to please all tastes. But is that possible?

In the world premiere of this radical retelling, acclaimed Indigenous creator and cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal delights in black humour, difficult subject matter, and raw emotions.

Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Cardinal (StitchHuff, and Cliff Cardinal’s CBC Special) studied playwriting at the National Theatre School of Canada and is an associate artist at VideoCabaret, where he develops his new work.

Cast will be announced at each performance.


It is anarchic and tender and seething and raw. And important for us now.

Unlike any other production of the play, past or future. NNNN
