Shakespeare at Stratford

 

The occasional intermingling of the two Stratfords, the one in England and the one in Canada, shows up in the most surprising places.

The statue of William Shakespeare in the garden at the Stratford Festival was done by Frank Holte. Holte headed the Stratford Festival prop department for some 39 years. And, this is where the link appears, Frank Holte was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in England.
