The Land Acknowledgement, or As You Like It

This play is a “radical retelling by Cliff Cardinal” of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It.

It examines the relationship between the Indigenous community and the settlers. It shows us what a young and insightful artist from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation sees in the aftermath of the discovery of unmarked graves on the grounds of former residential schools. It offers us the unvarnished truth of the state of the reconciliation process this country has been attempting for the last few decades.

Called “the Canadian arts surprise of the year” by The Globe and Mail, Cliff’s brilliant play The Land Acknowledgement, or As You Like It will dazzle and engage you as only the best theatre can.
