Stratford Festival HD film productions available on demand
STRATFORD, Ont. – A trio of Stratford Festival HD productions is now available on demand.
The first three titles captured for the project can be downloaded through iTunes and Google Play in Canada.
Viewers will be able to access Stratford productions of “King Lear,” “King John” and “Antony and Cleopatra.”
“Hamlet,” “The Taming of the Shrew” and “The Adventures of Pericles” will be added to the on-demand catalogue in 2017.
CBC-TV has already aired the first three titles, and the latest trio will be presented beginning this summer.
Starting in 2014, the festival embarked on a mission to film all Shakespeare plays over the course of a decade.
Executive director Anita Gaffney says the films have been seen by more than 200,000 people, and they hope to extend the reach of the initiative with the on-demand service.
