For the first time in all the time that I’ve been going to Shaw Festival and Stratford Shakespeare Festival opens, both festivals have scheduled an opening on the same day. Helen’s Necklace opens at the Shaw Festival at 8:00 pm on August 11, and Elektra opens at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival at the same time on the same day.
I wonder how that happened since they both seem so careful not to step on each other’s openings?
