<strong>Stratford</strong>: A Place ofDiscovery and DelightI believe <strong>Stratford</strong> should providenot only a delightful escape butalso a chance to explore. Our <strong>2013</strong>playbill offers tremendous variety,from the swashbuckling romanceThe Three Musketeers to NoëlCoward’s delicious comedy BlitheSpirit, but in putting it togetherI had a further purpose in mind:to explore communities dividedand the often difficult position ofthe outsider. Hence such playsas The Merchant of Venice,Schiller’s Mary Stuart and JudithThompson’s The Thrill – plays thatstir our feelings and invite us toreflect. Hence, too, the opportunityto explore further in our newlycreated Forum, described onpage 30. I am very proud of theextraordinary company of actors,directors, designers and craftspeoplethat we have broughttogether for a season that I hopewill delight you, move you andgive you an experience toremember.
