THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES Festival Theatre/Shaw Festival
Too long.
Too melodramatic.
Strong set, although the computer stuff wasn’t working right.
Fine Sherlock Holmes in Damien Atkins.
Just off a vast grassy field outside the Festival Theatre, life returns to the Great Grimpen Mire, Dartmoor and the giant, howling hound in “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

Just over a century ago, the Canadian Army built the Royal George Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake as part of a vast training base, preparing troops to go the bloodbath of the Western Front.
The war started badly and descended into military mass murder.

HENRY V Jackie Maxwell Studio Theatre/Shaw Festival
Maybe because the Stratford Festival is such a Shakespeare production factory, it took the Shaw Festival to turn its first Shakespeare production into a home run, or for the Canadian context, a hat trick.
