Interview with: Chris Cottrell, Director & Actor https://kanatatheatre.ca/play/2025-i-hate-hamlet/ A Comedy by Paul Rudnick Directed by Stavros Sakiadis May 7th-10th, 13th-17th (evening 7:30pm) & 11th (matinee 2:30pm) Set in John Barrymore’s old untouched circa 1930’s apartment in New York City, I Hate Hamlet follows successful television actor Andrew Rally as he struggles with the challenges of taking on the dream role of Hamlet, for the stage. To add to the angst he is already dealing with, he is also at odds with a girlfriend who is keeping a firm grip on chastity, and thanks to another friend, a wannabe medium and amateur séance holder, he is now playing host to the ghost of John Barrymore himself. Talk Back: Join us on Friday May 16th’s Performance Stay after the performance for a chance to talk with the director and cast.

| And Then There Were None
by Agatha Christie Directed by Venetia Lawless https://www.ottawalittletheatre.com/and-then-there-were-none/ Director: Venetia Lawless Written by: Agatha Christie Genre: Mystery Running: May 7 – 24, 2025 Wednesdays to Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Matinee: Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Additional Performances with alternate ending – Tuesday May 13 & Tuesday May 20, 2025 at 7:30 Warning: Adult Accompaniment recommended for these two performances, see *Note below. Synopsis Ten strangers are invited for a holiday to a remote island off the English coast. When a terrible storm cuts them off from the mainland, and with their hosts mysteriously absent, the true reason for their presence becomes horribly clear. Secrets from their past come back to haunt each guest, while a sinister nursery rhyme underscores their fates. Dame Agatha Christie wrote this stage adaptation based on her own novel – the best-selling mystery of all time. * PLEASE NOTE: An alternate version of the play, more closely reflecting the novel’s original somewhat darker ending, was commissioned by the Agatha Christie Estate, and written in 2015. In addition to the version that is normally performed, the OLT will be offering this darker, alternate version of the play during two performances only, on Tuesday May 13th and Tuesday May 20th. For this version, we recommend Adult Accompaniment. “A dark, twisted tale: a tribute to the author’s genius” – Review Hub “Certainly one of Christie’s cleverest mysteries” – WhatsOnStage *Warning: depictions and discussion of suicide, violence (*Contact Box Office for more information.
