Canada’s Stratford Festival is under new management, and it appears that the a renewed focus on Shakespeare (Stratford’s original centerpiece) is in the cards. “All four shows on the flagship Festival Theatre stage next season will be written by [Shakespeare]… This can be taken as a solid sign that the festival is returning to its classical roots and away from the model of more recent years, in which multiple musicals and family-styled adaptations like To Kill a Mockingbird were allowed to dominate the schedule.”
