In this week’s Herald…

This weekend the world’s spotlight is on Stratford for the Bard’s birthday – and we have a three-page feature on what’s happening all over town.

Plus we have a very special report about one man’s bold move to save Stratford’s railway line, with a smidgen of help from your very own Herald.

Talking of legends we have another special feature, as a new biography of Sir Freddie Laker hits the shelves.

Also this week a Stratford head teacher speaks out amid another battle with travellers, while a local musician pens a song about his memories.

Among the highlights of our packed arts section is an interview with the actor who’s taken on the mantle of Kate in the RSC’s gender-bending production of Taming of the Shrew.
