It\u2019s the only Canadian stop on the famed theatre\u2019s 2014 international tour. The Globe\u2019s touring cast, from London, England, will present two performances of \u201cHamlet\u201d on Saturday, August 2nd at the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival. The Festival\u2019s Artistic Director, Ian Farthing, called it a cultural coup for the small Ontario town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlobe to Globe: Hamlet\u201d celebrates the 450th anniversary of the birth of Shakespeare, who founded the London company and created its famous theatre in the round. The troupe will tour \u201cHamlet\u201d through more than 200 countries over the next two years. \u201cTo be the sole Canadian venue for this tour is a real honour,\u201d said Farthing in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Globe to Globe tickets for the Prescott performances will go on sale April 23rd \u2013 Shakespeare\u2019s birthday!
