The Free Willies are a local mix of actors and musicians joining forces to create a show touring to parks, farmer’s markets, and front porches with a blend of music, comedy, and, of course, Shakespeare.
The Freewill Shakespeare Festival postponed their annual summer festival in May. Wanting to continue to provide Edmonton audiences with a healthy dose of summer Shakespeare, The Free Willies troupe was born.
Freewill Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director David Horak has partnered with local independent theatre company Thou Art Here to create a show that harkens back to the travelling troubadours wandering the English countryside during Shakespeare’s time.
