Is this a durational theatre piece I see before me?!
On Sunday April 12, Shakespeare in the Ruff will stage a one-day-only MARATHON MACBETH.
Directed by Kwaku Okyere, and staged with the generous support of Video Cabaret, Ruff’s 2026 Winter Tale event is a durational theatrical experiment-slash-fundraiser in support of The Garden Initiative, our new pilot program that offers arts education to teen parents. Dora-winners Christine Horne and Dan Mousseau will perform a condensed version of the Scottish play’s infamous marriage over… and over… and over again. The more money Ruff raises, the longer the actors will go!
Where and when will this whacky experiment happen?
Video Cabaret in Leslieville (10 Busy Street, Toronto). The performance will start at 1:30pm on April 12, and run for a minimum of two hours.
How will donations affect the performance?
With every $500 we raise, we’ll add another 30 minutes to the performance, up to a maximum of five additional hours. CLICK HERE to donate via Zeffy!
What happens if we exceed our goal?
Past the $5000 mark, we’ll start to introduce *surprise elements* into the performance, to make things even more ridiculous for our two stars.
Can I come watch?
The performance on April 12 will be open to the public and FREE to attend. You’re welcome to drop in anytime, and come and go throughout the event.
