One of Vancouver’s seminal events, the Shakespeare festival Bard on the Beach down at Vanier Park, opens this weekend! A tradition in my family, I’ve been attending a performance every summer since its start – 20 years ago.
The 2009 line-up includes The Comedy of Errors, Othello, All’s Well That Ends Well, and Richard II. If you’re visiting this summer, or a local who’s never made it to a show, this is truly a memorable experience. Talented actors performing classic plays, set to a beautiful West Coast backdrop of beach, water, skyline and mountain – it’s a blast. It’s also likely to sell out, so these early shows are your best chance to get in on the action.
Which plays are you planning to see this season? Any fave Bard moments of years past? Leave your stories in the comments section!
Here’s to the start of summer!
