Last of the Stratford Plays

Stratford at dusk

My last Stratford play was King Lear. Fantastic show, clearly one of the strongest plays this season. I was also amused to find out what happened to one of my favourite Bard on the Beach actors that disappeared a few years ago… apparently he went to Stratford. Dion Johnston has been out there for a few years.

The actor playing Lear was really good. He raged and his madness was a dead ringer for dementia. Interesting interpretation. I’m glad I didn’t miss it. It felt a little busy trying to fit one more play into that week after Victoria’s visit, but it was worth it.
