Pound of Flesh Theatre Company endeavors to bring life to classics, past and present. It is interested in producing plays that are both rooted in myth and that have contributed to the mythical landscape of our society.

We want to question perceptions of classical theatre and find the pulse, rhythm in the plays that contribute enormosuly to our cultural identity while, at the same time, freeing them from the confines of traditional staging.

We want to push the boundaries of classical interpretation, approaching classics not as literature but as events.

Pound of Flesh Theatre Company was founded in September 2004 by Stephen Drover, Andrew Vokey and Lawrence Haegert (all graduates of Sir Wilfred Grenfell College's Theatre Department).

It became an incorporated non-profit society in November 2004 and a registered charity in September 2005 (BN 860146976RR0001).

Our inaugural production of "The Bond" (an original adaptation of "The Merchant of Venice") opened in April 2005, was nominated for seven Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards, and will be remounted in March 2007 in association with the Gateway Theatre in Richmond.
