Book excerpt: The Macdonald Stewart Art Centre's exhibition explores contemporary Canadian adaptations in theatre, pop media, and visual arts in a demonstration of the Shakespeare effect in Canadian culture. It brings together for the first time hundreds of rare artifacts, including the Canadian-owned Sanders portrait, contemporary Canadian theatre designs, Shakespeare in French Canada, contemporary Aboriginal adaptations of Shakespeare, new portraiture, an innovative learning commons for youth, as well as new and archival material from the Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project, the L. W. Conolly Theatre Archives (University of Guelph), and the Stratford Festival of Canada.
