A Company of Fools is Ottawa’s longest-running professional Shakespeare company: our mandate is to produce innovative, entertaining and accessible shows based on the works of William Shakespeare.

What’s NEXT!

  • The Merry Wives of Windsor (July 3 - August 17)

    Love and marriage, jealousy and revenge, men and women, English, French and Welsh all collide in this classic clash of cultures, combat of convention and battle of the sexes.

  • Hal & Falstaff (September 2-22, 2013)

    Theirs is a friendship doomed to fall. For when the Prince rises to be King, he must embrace rule and order. What room then for an old and unrepentant lay-about, the very embodiment of disorder itself?
