By Peter Raby
Adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas
Directed by Miles Potter

Set in 17th century France, Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel The Three Musketeers is bold, comical and wildly romantic. The stage adaptation by English playwright Peter Raby first premiered at the Festival Theatre in 1968 and was remounted there in 1988 and 2000. Now, the show returns to the original venue as an adventurous addition to the Stratford Festival's 2013 season.

The story of Romeo and Juliet has been told countless times, in many different forms, so it's refreshing to see a version of the play that focuses on representing Shakespeare's work in the way it was traditionally presented.

Original New York stage production directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins

"A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little village of Anatevka, every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask, why do we stay here if it's so dangerous? We stay because Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: Tradition!"

Love is a fussy thing in Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s charming 60th season production

Review

Credits:

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Christopher Newton

Stratford’s current staging of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Christopher Newton, puts an exotic spin on Shakespeare’s famous romantic comedy. Set in Brazil around the turn of the 20th century, the modified production features a beautiful set with a sweeping staircase (by designer Santo Loquasto) on which the story about two very different pairs of lovers unfolds.
