October 26, 2015… As the world prepares to celebrate Shakespeare 400, the Stratford Festival has key casting for its 2016 Shakespeares, and many other productions, in place.
“After months of planning, it’s exhilarating to witness so many talented artists come together in preparation for our 2016 season,” says Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino. “The range of abilities within this Stratford Festival company is breathtaking. And all those skills and talents will be on dazzling display in a playbill that encompasses some of the most challenging and delightful plays ever written. It’s in welcoming, developing and showcasing this talent that I am most proud to be Artistic Director of the Stratford Festival.”
Ian Lake will play Macbeth in the season opener directed by Mr. Cimolino, with Krystin Pellerin as Lady Macbeth. As You Like It, set in 1980s Newfoundland and directed by Jillian Keiley, will feature Petrina Bromley as Rosalind, Cyrus Lane as Orlando and Seana McKenna as Jaques. Breath of Kings, newly adapted from Shakespeare’s Henriad history cycle by Graham Abbey, will feature Mr. Abbey as Henry IV, Araya Mengesha as Henry V, Tom Rooney as Richard II, and Geraint Wyn Davies as Falstaff and Fluellen.
The Festival will also mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death with the screening of its new film of Hamlet in Cineplex Entertainment theatres across Canada and with a series of Q&A sessions in select Cineplex locations on April 23, the date of Shakespeare’s birth and death.
Casting continues, but the Festival is pleased to announce the following:
