“Our life is full of campaigns, small and long,” bodybuilder Jon Somers said. “If you have a lifetime of athletic pursuit, just campaign on. I never thought I’d have another shot at a bodybuilding competition, but I did it … whatever the next campaign is, have a go at it.”

"(Elizabeth) Whitbread crackles as Rita, playing her character with gusto, and deliver witty comebacks that land every time.

"This is a gorgeously designed and well-performed Shakespearean production. If you're a fan of Shakespeare, or simply a fan of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, it's absolutely worth checking out this show this summer — if only to get a taste of what good "classical" Shakespeare looks like."

For the first time in its 40-year history, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan (SOTS) has taken on The Tragedy of Richard II.

“I’m really hopeful that the young people who see this production of Midsummer get that sense of wonder and joy and a positive memory of the theatre,” Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan artistic director Kayvon Khoshkam said. “And Richard II is one of my favourite plays … I’m hoping people realize there’s more available in Shakespeare’s canon than what is traditionally offered.”
