The Bard's Bus Tour will be in St. Catharines for
one night only to perform
Othello. Their version of Shakespeare's blistering account of race, jealousy and revenge is set in 1974, with Canadian peacekeepers caught in a life and death struggle between opposing forces on the small island of Cyprus.

A collection of individual stories surrounding the Cyprus war of 1974, this installation will shed light on the personal consequences of international conflicts, as well as Canada's important role as peacekeepers in Cyprus.
