"It has been a long time coming," Du Bois Project Board of Directors member DuBois Thomas said. "I am really excited to get this over the finish line and deliver a sculpture to the community that I think will be really enjoyed for ages to come."
Tackling this play, including editing it cleanly, is an achievement, one that director Tina Packer has undertaken nobly and completed successfully. I would not have missed this for anything.
“Lovers' Spat: Shakespeare's Famous Couples’ Encounters” will include scenes between Shakespearean characters Beatrice and Benedict, Oberon and Titania, Romeo and Juliet, Hermia and Lysander, Kate and Hotspur, Kate and Petruchio, Richard and Lady Anne and more.
