| THE
SHAKESPEARE
SERIES. I continue to find inspiration in various aspects of
Shakespeare's work and life. I lived just thirty miles from Stratford
upon Avon for thirteen years, and saw many of the Royal Shakespeare
Company's productions of his plays previewed at the Festival Theatre in
Malvern. No matter how many times one sees or reads Shakespeare's work, there
is always a rich vein to be discovered and enjoyed. |
