Shakespeare On The Saskatchewan Festival — Attraction in Saskatoon

I have been to Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan several times and the performances are always wonderful. This year I saw opening night of The Merry Wives of Windsor and really enjoyed it. It took a few scenes for me to be able to anticipate the accent one of the characters spoke with, but I have no other complaints about the performance.
