A new play adapts sections of Henry IV, Parts I&II to tell the cowardly knight’s full story. See it at Bard on the Beach (to Sep. 22), which also features Much Ado About Nothing, Antony and Cleopatra and Henry V.—Sheri Radford

Shakespeare is at his comedic best in this frothy play filled with matchmaking, mischief and merriment. It runs all season long at Bard on the Beach (Jun. 17 to Sep. 25), the annual tented festival in Vanier Park. Also on offer this summer: Antony and Cleopatra (Jun. 16 to Sep. 24), Falstaff (Jul. 1 to Sep. 22) and Henry V (Jul. 14 to Sep. 24). There’s no better way to enjoy the Bard’s works than outside in the fresh air, cuddled under a fleece blanket, warm despite the cool breeze off the ocean.—Sheri Radford
