Antoni Cimolino announced today the Stratford Shakespeare Festival's playbill for 2013, his first season as Artistic Director, and began to outline his vision for the Festival's future during his tenure.
Cimolino will complement his playbill with a new initiative, the Forum: an interactive program of talks, discussions, music and dance, and other ancillary events that will offer a diverse range of perspectives and invite debate on the season's themes.
Donna Feore, Brian Bedford, Brian Dennehy, Des McAnuff and many other superstars of the stage will contribute to next season's success.
