Royal Canadian Air Farce
- Synopsis
- A selection of audio clips performed by Canadian Air Farce and presented on the Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare website (CASP). They offer comedic representations of Shakespeare in relation to Canadian national identity. Ranging from the earliest radio clip in 1977 (`Shakespearean Quackers’) through to the 1993 "Shakespearean Election (or Much Ado About the Merchant of Hamlet’s Election)", the skits spoof Canadian multiculturalism, political culture, media culture, local Canadian culture (Canadian Tire), regionalism, and other aspects of the Canadian national psyche.
