Stratford Festival: King John
About the Stratford Festival
The Stratford Festival has been setting the standard for classical theatre in North America for more than
60 years. With the works of Shakespeare at its core, this acclaimed repertory theatre presents a sevenmonth
season of a dozen or more plays in four venues, along with a Forum of events to enrich the playgoing
experience. Since its revolutionary first season in 1953, it has welcomed more than 26 million
theatregoers from around the world, people who flock to this small Canadian town for one reason: an
unparalleled quality of performance. In 2014 the Stratford Festival announced an ambitious initiative to
film all of Shakespeare's plays over the next 10 years, making the work of this internationally acclaimed
theatre company available to a global audience.
"I can't think of another theatre company in the world currently offering such variety stylistically
and all of it at the highest standard, too. The company is feeling like an international mecca for
Shakespeare." J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail
"Stratford, where fans of classic drama come in large numbers to worship at its leading, four-stage,
North American shrine." Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
"If you have been longing to encounter greatness in the theatre, it's waiting for you at the Stratford
Festival." Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star
"The depth of casting allows for revelatory performances even in minor roles."
Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
"The Stratford Festival is like nirvana for theater fans." Amy Alipio, National Geographic
