  • The Witlings: A Comedy by Frances Burney by Patrick Young

    The Witlings: A Comedy by Frances Burney

    Patrick Young

    The Witlings was written by comic novelist Frances Burney in 1779, but her male relatives prevented its production; the manuscript was not rediscovered until the 20th century. Patrick Young's Acting Version trims the rough but brilliant 4-hour draft to just over 2½ hours and connects all the loose ends. A young heiress loses her fortune and is attacked or defended by a colourful collection of proto-Dickensian characters. Acclaimed as "witty" and "hilarious", the Canadian Premiere of The Witlings was produced by Theatre Erindale on the campus of the University of Toronto Mississauga in 2014.

  • The Taming of the Tamer (also known as The Tamer Tamed or The Woman’s Prize) by John Fletcher by Patrick Young

    The Taming of the Tamer (also known as The Tamer Tamed or The Woman’s Prize) by John Fletcher

    Patrick Young

    The Taming of the Tamer (also known as The Tamer Tamed or The Woman’s Prize) was written by John Fletcher some 20 years after Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. In it, Petruchio's second wife finally succeeds in giving him his comeuppance. Though a hit in its day, surviving versions are rough and even contradictory; Patrick Young’s adaptation for acting makes this hilarious proto-feminist work fully accessible for the first time in almost 400 years. The Canadian Premiere of The Taming of the Tamer was produced by Theatre Erindale on the campus of the University of Toronto Mississauga in 2009.
