The famous Stratford Festival is in full swing, and theatre fans from across the country and beyond are flocking to catch some unique performances – from reimaginings of iconic Shakespearean plays to more modern theatrical offerings.

Aisling Murphy, the Globe’s theatre reporter, has been following this year’s Stratford Festival since it kicked off last month – reviewing shows from Anne of Green Gables to a ‘90s biker bar reimagining of Macbeth. Murphy has also been covering Toronto’s Shaw Festival, Ottawa Fringe, and much more.
