| Yes. It's the best theater in Canada and some of the best theater in the world. The town itself isn't terribly exciting but is pretty has some serious culinary chops. We go every year (we live in Chicago) and it's a fantastic, relaxing experience. This year, Something Rotten, London Assurance, Salesman in China, Twelfth Night and Hedda Gabbler are all extraordinary. La Cage is mid but with an amazing central performance. The other shows are all pretty swell. The only shows that aren't up to snuff this year are Weny, The Diviners, and (weirdly) The Goat. The Shaw Festival is also lovely, with a more interesting surrounding area, but they've been sadly diminished in recent years by declining audiences and falling funding. |
