BURLINGTON, ON

If the heat is more than you can manage – and can anyone actually manage this heat – give some thought to a pleasant evening yards away from Bronte Creek in Lowville on a large shaded lawn while you listen to a Shakespearian classic comedy – The Taming of the Shrew

Taming of the shrewThe play’s apparent misogynistic elements have become the subject of considerable controversy, particularly among modern scholars, audiences and readers.

It is nevertheless wonderful use of the English language in a setting that is hard to beat.

The play is sponsored by Thinkspot, a Lowville based operation that focuses on shifting the way people think and the way they work together.

This is the third year they have sponsored Shakespearian plays done by the Driftwood Theatre Company. The event has become the event that precedes the Lowville Festival which this year begins Friday July 22nd through to Sunday July 24th

The Lowville Festival – for the artist in all of us.
