Stratford adventure
Description
This classic documentary describes how a small Canadian city, bearing the name of Stratford and nestled beside the Avon River - named after the Avon in Englad - realized the vision of one of its sons: the creation of a theater for the staging of the finest Shakespearean drama. The Stratford Adventure also explains how the idea grew; how a famous British director, internationally known stars, and Canadian talent were recruited; and how the Stratford Festival finally became a triumphant reality.
