STAGE TUBE: Cara Ricketts on Stratford's Dark HOMECOMING
By: Kelsey Denette
Currently running at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, THE HOMECOMING tells the story of Teddy, who has been living in America for the past six years, away from the all-male household of his father, uncle and brothers. When he returns unexpectedly to the family's North London home, accompanied by his wife, Ruth, the ensuing struggle for power leads to a shocking conclusion.

Below, see Cara Ricketts (Ruth) describes what it is like working with such a dark story in the 2011 Stratford Shakespeare Festival production of THE HOMECOMING.
