Shakespeare Club
An ice storm has locked in Peterborough. The streets are nearly impassible. Hydro lines are being brought down by ice-heavy branches. Nevertheless, a determined group of women is gatherin in one of their homes, to study Shakespeare.
The storm raging outside Shakespeare Club's meeting is soon matched by conflict inside. Intellectual discourse is disrupted by ancient rivalries - and a little magic. By the time hydro is restored to the storm-tossed city, the club's power structure has split and minds are cracking open...
Much of the above is true.
The time is January, 1953. The location is in and around Kerr House, high atop Stewart Street hill, in Peterborough, Ontario.
Shakespeare Club is, as of January 2026, unproduced. It has had successful staged readings in Toronto, Peterborough and Ohio.
