<title>A decade of Shakespeare in Prescott</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20118/20120711/a-decade-of-shakespeare-in-prescott</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 11, 2012) The St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival is celebrating its tenth summer season in Prescott, Ontario. The Kinsman amphitheater, along the waterfront, is home to the Festival.  A decade ago, a small group of actors brought a production of Romeo and Juliet to Prescott, and it proved to be a success. It&apos;s now the largest outdoor professional Shakespeare festival in Ontario, attracts some of the best talent and features two plays as well as an educational program for aspiring actors.  Todd Moe heads down to the waterfront for a conversation with artistic director Ian Farthing and some of the actors for their thoughts on this year’s productions of Othello and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
