The current issue of
Westways
(July/August 2019) mentions a few events related to Shakespeare, and so I feel
a compulsion to mention them here. I can’t help it, you see. On page 76, on the
“Current Events” page, The Old Globe Summer Shakespeare Festival in San Diego
is mentioned, along with that image of William Shakespeare. I haven’t made it
down for any of their productions yet. This season, according to the short
piece, the company is putting on
As You
Like It and
Romeo And Juliet.
Then on page 78, the Shakespeare By The Sea production of
Henry V is mentioned. As you may be aware, that company performs
two plays each summer at various parks all over the Los Angeles area. The
single performance this magazine chooses to mention is the one I attended at
Los Encinos State History Park on August 3rd. On the very next page
is mentioned “Midsummer Scream, Long Beach” (p. 79). It is described as a
Halloween and horror convention, but obviously it takes its name from
A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
