A Monster Theatre Production - Written by: Pippa Mackie and Ryan Gladstone
Performed by: Pippa Mackie, Carly Pokoradi and Ryan Gladstone
Directed by: Ryan Gladstone

Juliet: A Revenge Comedy is laugh-out-loud, must-see theatre! This fast-paced show follows the story of Juliet Capulet, one of theatre’s most iconic characters and takes the audience on a whole new adventure. For although Juliet is one of world’s most well-known characters, she is also the one with the least free will. Not only is she a child, a woman, and the literary embodiment of love, she is in someone else’s play—a man’s play.

In this energetic production, Juliet tears herself from the fabric of the narrative and exits the theatre determined to write her own story. Wandering through the canon of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, she encounters other renowned female characters (Lady Macbeth, Ophelia, Cleopatra, and Miranda) and recruits this team of kick-ass women to confront Shakespeare.

Written by Pippa Mackie (East Van Panto, Progressive Polygamists) and Ryan Gladstone (Til Death, The Canada Show), this animated romp through some of Shakespeare’s best loved characters features Pippa Mackie as Juliet, while Carly Pokoradi (Jesus Christ: The Lost Years, The Canada Show) hilariously plays almost everyone else, while Ryan Gladstone provides a cameo as William Shakespeare.

This exceedingly witty show breathes new life into Shakespeare’s well-loved classics and is certain to be an entertaining evening for all!

“The interactions between Pokoradi and Mackie veer between classic Shakespeare and saucy modern-day dialogue, keeping audiences in stitches from beginning to end of the 60-minute production. The taut writing, sparse props and sound effects are bolstered by fantastic performances, which serve to ratchet up the laughs from start to finish.” - Winnipeg Free Press
