Get swept away.

Extended run!

Ranked among the world's theatrical masterpieces.

Known the world over, but appearing on a Toronto stage for the first time, Shakuntala (sha-KOON-tala) is an epic love story by the 5th century Indian playwright, Kalidasa.

King Dushyanta and a devout young woman, Shakuntala, meet in innocence, fall in love, are cruelly separated and eventually reunited in eternity. Poetic and deeply human, this story takes you on a magnificent, emotion-filled journey that is profound and far-reaching.

Filled with exquisite costumes, enthralling music, a multicultural cast and dazzling choreography, Shakuntala arrives just in time for Valentine's Day. Don't miss this rare theatrical event.

Don't let the World pass you by!
