The Merchant of Venice, by William Shakespeare
February 13-23, 2025, at The Theatre Centre Incubator 1115 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1J1
This season’s mainstage production is one of the most controversial and divisive plays ever written. BASH’d will bring together a group of predominantly Jewish artists, under the direction of BASH’d Co-Artistic Director Julia Nish-Lapidus, bringing their varied lived experiences to scrutinize how we can approach this play today.

The Spanish Tragedy, by Thomas Kyd
November 17, 2024, at the Monarch Tavern 12 Clinton St, Toronto, ON M6J 2N8
A staged reading
One of the most influential plays in the early modern theatre, this theatrically stunning play tells the violent tale of Hieronimo’s revenge of his son’s murder. It is brutally beautiful, while mixing forms of comedy, tragedy, and renaissance ghost story, to create a haunting tale, which is essential to our understanding of Shakespeare’s theatre.

The Man of Mode, by George Etheredge
May 4, 2025, at the Monarch Tavern 12 Clinton St, Toronto, ON M6J 2N8
A staged reading
The restoration of the theatres was a monumental moment in theatrical history, and sparked a creative happening which brought forth some of the most enduring comedies ever written. Etheredge’s hilarious play was prototypical and one of the most biting of the genre. Dorimant’s rakishness defies the elite society trying to woo, wed, and bed indiscriminately. We are so excited to dip our minds into the world of Restoration comedy.
