Young Werther

Friday, January 24 until Thursday, January 30, 2025Yukon Theatre

Love is blind. It's dumb, too.

Patrick J. Adams, Douglas Booth and Alison Pill star in this romantic comedy based on the classic smash hit novel of tragic romance. While on a simple errand to Toronto, a carefree and charming young writer named Werther stumbles across the love of his life only to discover that the young woman is engaged. Despite the urgings of his hypochondriac best friend, Werther turns his world upside down in a desperate, misguided and hilarious quest to win her heart.

"YOUNG WERTHER takes a classic piece of literature and updates it, setting the story in Toronto, delivering a quirky romantic comedy that, despite a few stumbles, eventually finds its footing to offer something lightly entertaining & profoundly bittersweet. Douglas Booth is electrifying as a charming yet tragic obsessive, while Allison Pill makes everything look so effortless. Charming supporting work from Patrick J. Adams & Jaouhar Ben Ayed. Quick-witted and breezy, with one of my favorite end credits of the year," - Letterboxed Review, Matt Neglia
