The Guardian at Stratford

Chris Wiegand is unable to join us. Novelist, essayist and cultural commentator Stephen Marche, author of How Shakespeare Changed Everything and a regular contributor to The Guardian, will be hosting this event. 

Re-imagining Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s characters, plotlines, and language have proven timeless, giving artists and directors the freedom to explore various genres and eras. While there are traditionalists who strongly believe that Shakespeare should only be presented in period costumes with swords, others embrace the chance to connect with audiences through modern interpretations. Stephen Marche, regular contributor to The Guardian, joins Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino and veteran Shakespearean actor and assistant director of this season's Macbeth, André Sills, as they discuss the ongoing journey of reimagining the Bard’s work.
