What’s On
The 2026 Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival will return to Sen̓áḵw/Vanier Park in Vancouver from June to September, 2026.
The 2026 Season offers a thrilling journey through comedy, tragedy, and myth, presenting bold new visions of timeless stories. Playing in repertory on the BMO Mainstage, The Merry Wives of Windsor sparkles with trickery and fun in a lively musical treatment, while the dark, relentless intensity of Macbeth provides a stark and bloody counterpoint. In the Douglas Campbell Theatre, the wildly successful Goblin:Oedipus, created by Rebecca Northan & Bruce Horak, with Ellis Lalonde, transforms one of Greek theatre’s darkest tales into a riotous, irreverent escapade. This production will play in repertory with Antigone, adapted by Kate Besworth, which brings a raw and urgent contemporary lens to a classic tragedy.
