Stage and screen actor Colm Feore plays the title roles in Macbeth and Cyrano de Bergerac, which are currently running in repertory at Ontario's Stratford Festival.

The Stratford veteran's credits include the title roles in Don Juan (in both English and French), Coriolanus, Hamlet, Richard III and an earlier production of Cyrano. Television audiences know him as First Gentleman Henry Taylor on the most recent season of "24."

Des McAnuff's production of the Shakespeare classic officially opened the festival June 1. Also featured are Yanna McIntosh as Lady Macbeth, Dion Johnstone as Macduff, Gareth Potter as Malcolm and Timothy D. Stickney as Banquo.

Donna Feore directs her husband in Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, which opened June 19. Amanda Lisman and Mike Shara join Feore onstage as Roxane and Christian, respectively.

Here is a look at the two productions:
