Why does Shakespeare still speak to us today? Join two leading voices on Shakespeare – acclaimed scholar James Shapiro and Stratford Festival Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino – for a dynamic conversation on the enduring power and relevance of Shakespeare’s works, the depth of his characters and why his plays continue to resonate across generations.

This event was recorded in front of a live audience on September 25th, 2026 at the Tom Patterson Theatre in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
