The intimate and beautiful open-air theatre in historic Cupids provides the perfect place to explore the special connection we, as Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, have through our language and culture that will enrich the text and experience of Shakespeare's plays"

THE POWER OF ONE
In 2019, Perchance Theatre was rebranded with a masterful campaign by Target. The Power of Words took a lighthearted and critical view of the building blocks of all language – the letters. These letters became a powerful force when assembled into the words that form classical theatre.
This year Perchance continues to build on the campaign, but our new COVID-19 reality has changed things and made us more introspective, more focused, and more singular. So without the ability for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to gather in our beautiful outdoor Elizabethan Stage, we wanted to take our work to Newfoundland and Labrador.
As a result, we’ve developed a new project entitled The Power of One. Showcasing some of the finest work of Shakespeare by some of the province's finest artists in some of the finest places Newfoundland and Labrador have to offer.
Keep an eye on our web, and social media sites for details on our epic province-wide adventures.

for this well deserved recognition!
We wish you, our friends, to know that even though our stage appears bare this summer, our company is moving forward and needs your support more than ever to keep us confidently moving ahead to the 2021 season.
Macbeth is among my favorites, for sure. I was the type of nerd who—when we had to memorize the "If it were done when 'tis done" speech for English class—brought a fake sword to school to perform it in front of my peers. I'm looking forward to heading back to Scotland, literarily speaking. Here are our resources:
- Macbeth Video Introduction: Elizabeth E. Tavares returns to introduce the play.
- Macbeth: Additional Resources: Synopses, some past film versions, and more.
- Macbeth: From the Folger Archive: A collection of images from the 19th and 20th centuries.
- General Resources: Other resources you may find useful as you read, including links for film adaptations.
Welcome to August. We are seven months through the Project...
