High Anglicans and Cultural Nazis

An exclusive Toronto private school for girls has fired its principal for hosting an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice without warning students about its anti-Semitic content.

The play was reimagined and set in Nazi Germany, and invited audience interaction with chants of “Burn the Jews” and other overt Nazi imagery.

The production by a British theatre company is aimed at young people, and though it has been staged at schools in the U.K. for 20 years, it was further developed over the course of a two-week residency at the Toronto boarding school. After it was staged Oct. 17, the audience — mainly students in Grade 11 — was divided and parents complained, which led the school to apologize.

It was an “an error to present that particular version of the play,” the school said. “Furthermore, the appropriate context was not provided to students to prepare them.”

In an illustration of the newly intense institutional risk that such episodes can pose to schools, however, The Bishop Strachan School (BSS) did more than just apologize.


A statement Monday said an internal review is underway to ensure this never happens again. It also said the school and its principal, Judith Carlisle, “have parted ways” because of “an inability to align on a strategy for moving forward for the future.” The National Post understands Carlisle did not resign voluntarily. She declined an interview request.  (more...)
