A Canadian masterpiece. An acclaimed new production. Billy Bishop Goes to War follows a born loser from Owen Sound as he becomes the greatest of all World War I flying aces. With its charming songs and delicious wit, Billy Bishop has delighted audiences around the world, and won the Governor General’s Award, the Chalmers Award and the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award.

"Do your heart a favour and break it by seeing Billy Bishop Goes to War… I urge every red-blooded Canuck who can to catch a moving presentation of this Canadian classic…Beil and Gray fit hand in glove, whether singing beautiful harmonies or playing the part of pals in hell, their tight teamwork makes this show much more than the sum of its parts…you may well be moved to tears by this rich and timely return to a touching tribute." Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun

"I urge you to see this cocky, hilarious tour de force…Ryan Beil accomplishes the impossible…He takes one of the best-known plays in the Canadian theatrical canon and makes it howl on the stage as though it were just born. I was riveted…" Michael Harris, Globe and Mail

"An absolute triumph" The Guardian
