Saw an amazing production of “Edward III” put on by the Hudson Shakespeare Company of New Jersey. Its a dubious Shakespeare title they did in a Viking setting. It wad really engrossing and well paced, more theater companies should do it. Next month they are doing both parts of Henry IV with a female Prince Hal and Hotspur http://www.newjerseystage.com/articles/getarticle.php?titlelink=hudson-shakespeare-company-presents-henry-iv-throughout-august

This summer I attended an outdoor production of The Tempest at Shakespeare & Co in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. This company is sponsored by Century Community College. The stage has expanded over the years , from your basic single platform and sound walls to today’s more complicated series of platforms, stairs, turrets, balcony with railings. It’s a beautiful permanent stage area that is utilized just as Shakespeare’ s Globe is, with location changes denoted through the dialog up alone. The trees and shrubs surrounding the audience become part of the set, as does any available space within the audience, who sit on blanket or chairs all over the grounds. This production was a gender inclusive production with women playing several key roles, including Prospero (Prospera). The inclusiveness was quite successful, especially with the character of Trinculo (Trincula). She was utterly delightful as a young wanton wench , always into her cups (all 3 of them).

We saw Door Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” It was just fantastic–an intimate stage nestled in the middle of the woods. The perfect setting for high jinks by Puck and the crew.
