Dangerous Liaisons - Stratford Festival

IN CELEBRATION OF
EXCELLENCE
At the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, we celebrate our cultural touchstones with zest, combining respect
for the text and the rich legacy of our traditions with the fl ourish of the playful and the unexpected. On
our stages, the ageless classics speak to us afresh, in a continuing dialogue with the best new voices of
contemporary theatre. This is the essence of our Festival.
From the Forest of Arden to the Argentina of Eva Perón,
from Prospero’s enchanted island to the Never Land
of Peter Pan, the productions of our 2010 season will
transport you to the realms of memory and magic,
revenge and reconciliation – where the potent art of
theatre is bound to capture your heart, your mind and
your imagination.
A stellar company of artists, including old friends making
their welcome returns, is here to bring these dramatic
worlds to glorious life. The standards of excellence at
Stratford can be met by very few theatres in the world. So
come take your seat with us, and give us the opportunity
not only to entertain you, but also to inspire.
