Whose Lineage is it Anyway? An Improvised Shakspearean History

Catch the Fringe Hit before it's gone!

After a successful run at the 2025 Vancouver Fringe, The Spontaneous Shakespeare company are back at Little Mountain Gallery with an improvised Shakespearean history like you've never seen before. Inspired by a story from the audience’s own family history, they will create a new, completely improvised epic, transforming your family lore into a clash of kings and armies, inspiring speeches and the hilarious comedy you’ve come to expect. No Shakespeare knowledge required!

(Audience participation is not required, so come on out and enjoy the show!)
