Welcome!

I'm a freelance reviewer of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, in Stratford, Ontario (and the odd show elsewhere). I'll also provide links to other national reviews along the side, for those who don't agree with me and who want to know what other people have said. (My apologies if the links stop working - their rules, not mine.)

Here's to a great season of theatre!

Spoke too soon?

The Beacon Herald is now reporting that rumours of Cynthia Dale's return to Stratford's stages may be greatly exaggerated...

[exerpt] "Dale's manager and the Festival's Des McAnuff and Antoni Cimolino all say any announcement is a bit premature.

Her manager told The Beacon Herald there have been conversations but there is not a "done deal" as of yet."

"I can't say enough about the talents of Cynthia," said McAnuff, the Festival's artistic director.

"But we haven't signed a single contract for 2012." That was a position echoed by Cimolinio. "We will be announcing casting in the months ahead," said Cimolino, adding, "Cynthia has been a very important part of the Stratford Festival and I would love to see her back very soon."

Dale -- a "triple threat" who sings, dances and acts -- was the marquee actress for the Festival for almost a decade, but hasn't been at the Festival since 2007." - John Kastner, Managing Editor, Stratford Beacon Herald
