Are you ready to FOOL around? Christopher Moore's smart and sexy twist of Shakespeare's tragedy comes life to the HAT this weekend!

The New York Times bestselling novel comes to life in this new adaptation by the co-artistic director of the Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Pocket – King Lear's wise-cracking, string-pulling, truth-telling Fool– hysterically retells Shakespeare's tragedy and uncovers the wickedly comic palace intrigue involving devious daughters, treasonous nobles, treacherous bastards, invading armies, cackling witches, and a ghost (there's always a bloody ghost).

June 10 to 14, 2026
Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30pm
Sunday at 2:00pm & 7:30pm

Recommended for Ages 16+

Adult Admission: $25.00 + HST & Service Fee
Ages 23 & Under: $15.00 + HST & Service Fee
