From renowned Canadian director Christine Brubaker comes a new play that asks about leadership, chaos, and public space in our very own city. Henry G20 is a freely reimagined adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry V . Set in Toronto, this production erupts on the streets during the G20 protests of 2010 - the battle between civilian protesters & the militarized police force.
