Stratford is the heart of Theatre Country
Enjoy Shakespearean classics, musicals and outdoor performances at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival or take in some truly original and unique plays about the Canadian rural experience at the Blyth Festival.
The critically acclaimed Stratford Shakespeare Festival appeals to every taste this summer, from musicals presenting the 76 trombones and 110 cornets in the Americana of The Music Man to the smoky and dark sensibilities of Weimar Berlin in Cabaret. Experience the many faces of love – the sharp and fiery-tongued battle of the sexes in The Taming of the Shrew to the bittersweet romance of All’s Well That End’s Well and the wit and wordplay of Love’s Labour Lost. Be stirred by the resilience of the human spirit of women in The Trojan Women and the triumph over tyranny in Fuente Ovejuna. Come experience the finest repertory theatre in North America presented and performed by Tony award winning actors, designers and directors.
Or if original Canadian plays capture your spirit, take a short drive to Blyth. This summer the Blyth Festival season features Against the Grain. Inspired by the playwright’s family history, it follows a Manitoba farmer’s rise to power. In the hilarious but sobering Harvest, a retired farm couple discover things turn out to be too good to be true when they rent out their farm to a nice young man – with a Rottweiler.
