The final performance of Opening Week of the Stratford Festival’s 72nd Season is one familiar to all audiences. ROMEO AND JULIET opened at the Festival Theatre last night and provided a strong conclusion to a very successful opening week. Director Sam White – who directed last season’s excellent WEDDING BAND – draws on the strengths of her artists and gives us a relatable and moving rendition of this well known tragedy.

The Stratford Festival’s 72nd season opened last night with a delightful production of William Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT. Last performed on the Festival Theatre stage in 2017, it was high time that this comedy of mistaken identity, foolish pranks, and the pursuit of love be brought back for Stratford audiences. This production also marks the Stratford Festival Directorial Debut for beloved performer Seana McKenna.
