The last weeks of tour are upon us.

This is your last chance to see the Dangerous Dreams Tour on the road. 

After that, we’ll be performing Julius Caesar, The Life of King Henry the Fifth, The Importance of Being Earnest at the Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, VA through June 12. We’ll also be adding George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man to our repertory. 

Hope you can catch these wonderful plays!

We had a great time in Austin last week. 

Our hosts at University of Texas/Shakespeare at Winedale were phenomenal. 

The crowds were enthusiastic. 

AND THE FOOD WAS PERFECT.

SO WAS THE WEATHER.

Thank you, Austin! Hope to be back soon.

Let me stop there, but my God, how beautiful Shakespeare is, who else is as mysterious as he is; his language and method are like a brush trembling with excitement and ecstasy. But one must learn to read, just as one must learn to see and learn to live.
