Artistic Director and director of this season’s The Tempest, Antoni Cimolino sits down with Shakespeare scholar and dramaturge Stephen Marche, who literally wrote the book on How Shakespeare Changed Everything. The conversation unfolds naturally as the pair explore Shakespeare’s enduring influence on our lives, recounting their time together analyzing The Tempest over a famous local dessert.

This event was recorded live on June 20, 2026 as part of the Meighen Forum at the Stratford Festival.
