dc.description.abstract | In the spring of 1936 the Directors of the Stratford-upon-Avon Festival Company received the following cable: ‘Please send earth Shakespeare’s garden water River Avon for dedication Shakespeare Theatre, Dallas, Texas, July 1st.’ The ‘Shakespeare Theatre’ referred to was a ‘replica’ of the Globe playhouse erected for the Great Texas Fair; it had previously served as the centre-piece of a mock ‘English village’ constructed for the World’s Fair in Chicago. Stratford knew how to respond to what might seem to us a bizarre request. A group of citizens and actors gathered in the garden of Shakespeare’s birthplace to meet the American Vice-Consul.

The party then repaired to the premises of the Stratford rowing club on the banks of the Avon | en |
