Terry Pratt’s fascination with this play, along with his having attended a Halifax ‘Shakespeare By the Sea’ outdoor production of it, were where things started. He then discovered Robert Cotton Park and began thinking of doing something like the Halifax production. Bunty Albert, producer, became involved in the thinking and along came a Stratfords of the World 2012. As Terry said, “The stars had lined up, irresistibly”. The show played between supper and dusk, and a highlight was members of the audience bearing the boughs of Birnam Wood, as the park darkened. A special highlight of ACT’s Macbeth in the park was the excellent cooperation from the Mayflowers Seniors Club, the Town of Stratford, the organizing committee of Stratfords of the World, and numerous individuals and groups in the community.
