The Quill and Dagger Theatre Company gleefully plays with theatrical convention, turning tragedy into riotous delight. Whether you’re a Shakespeare purist or a comedy junkie, prepare for a bloody good time!


Quill and Dagger Theatre Company

The Quill and Dagger Theatre Company creates fast, funny, and theatrically inventive work rooted in the Fool’s tradition. With backgrounds performing in the legendary Festival of Fools — through ensembles such as Sheer Madness and The Ship of Fools — we carry forward a rich lineage of irreverent, intelligent comedy.

Our inspirations range from the verbal brilliance of Tom Stoppard to the wild absurdity of Charles Ludlam’s Theatre of the Ridiculous, the spirited charm of Danny Kaye, and, of course, the enduring genius of Shakespeare.

With wit, surprise, and gleeful theatricality, we put the audience first, offering laughter that is both thoughtful and cathartic — a spirited answer to the heaviness of modern life.
