To September 22
All the world’s a stage—even the eye-catching tents in Vanier Park, which pop up every summer to house Vancouver’s popular annual Shakespeare festival Bard on the Beach. Headlining this year’s fest are The Taming of the Shrew and Macbeth, while The Merry Wives of Windsor and King John are performed on alternating nights on the Studio Stage. It’s everything a Bard lover could want, plus a few extras: special fireworks evenings, lectures and, of course, a stunning False Creek backdrop.—Sheri Radford
