| USA: Staunton, VA | American Shakespeare Center | The Winter's Tale |
Shakespeare's magnificent late play is a roller-coaster ride from romance to tragedy to comedy and finally to a place of transcendent beauty that few other works of art have ever gone. "A sad tale's best for winter," says Hermione's young son - but after unleashing a wintry tempest onto his characters, Shakespeare ultimately conjures spring's miraculous rebirth.

| USA: Washington, DC | Folger Shakespeare Library | The Taming of the Shrew |
Riotous events lead to the ill-fitting marriage of the arrogant Petruchio and the headstrong Kate. Full of wit and lusty humor, Shakespeare’s quintessential battle of the sexes redefines the boundaries of love. Helen Hayes Award-winning director Aaron Posner leads real life husband and wife Cody Nickell and Kate Eastwood Norris in a sparing match enlivened by original music composed and performed by singer-songwriter Cliff Eberhardt.
