Review of Stratford Festival

I haven't been here in decades, since I saw Macbeth, but I wish I had made regular visits to Stratford between then and now! I took my Mum to see Othello Saturday; it was fantastic. We were seated at stage right of the thrust stage, but the blocking is so expertly done that every seat is a good one. The best part about enjoying Shakespeare's plays at Stratford is the sense of community: everyone sighing, groaning, laughing, reacting to the same parts of the play in the same way - it was exhilarating! I will definitely be making this a regular tradition from now on!
