Free Weekend of Shakespeare

Target is sponsoring a free weekend of Shakespeare Dallas, July 16-18, at the Samuell-Grand Amphitheater east of Downtown. On the 16th either "Comedy of Errors" or "Cymbeline" will be performed. "Cymbeline" will be the play on the 17th and 18th. The plays will begin at 8:15 PM each day.

As suggested by the title, "Comedy of Errors" is a comedy, as opposed to the tragedies we'll be reading in class. If you thought "Romeo and Juliet" was a bummer your freshman year, this should be a more enjoyable experience.

"Cymbeline" is also non-tragic and presents a number of similarities to "Othello," a play we will be reading next school year. Get a jump on it by seeing this play ahead of time.

I plan to be there on the 18th. Hope to see you there.
