Cast members of the Stratford show "London Assurance": Deborah Hay, Geraint Wyn Davies, Austin Eckert, and Marissa Orjalo.
A Sept. 19 charter trip to the Stratford Festival promises a theatrical experience for attendees.
Organized by the Windsor University Retirees’ Association but open to all, the trip includes a discounted ticket to see the Victorian comedy London Assurance, round-trip bus travel from Windsor to and from Stratford, and a buffet dinner after the play.
Written by Dion Boucicault and directed by UWindsor grad Antoni Cimolino (BFA 1984, D.Hum 2004), London Assurance satirizes the pretensions and fashions of the upper classes.
“This play is filled with unbridled joy,” says Cimolino, the festival’s artistic director. “The sense of modernity about the piece may surprise audiences.”
Drama professor emeritus Brian Taylor will join the bus ride to offer insights prior to the show and lead discussion afterward.
Travellers may purchase the full package or select individual elements. Find more information, including an itinerary, seating plan, and menu, on the WURA website.
