Lost the fresh blood in your cheeks?  As the better half of Shakespeare's famously sexy couple from Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2, Kelley Curran's Lady Percy puts the "hot" in Hotspur.   Finding strength in questions, Kelley is precise and nice (nice?) in her approach to the text.  This is one interview that might make you drop an octave or two.  (Kelley Curran performs Lady Percy at the Shakespeare Theater of DC starting March 25th.)

Dreams are being made at the Warehouse Theater in Greenville, SC.  Robert Richmond and Richard Sheridan Willis continue their 20 year collaboration with The Tempest. Combining the roles of Caliban and Prospero as well as Ariel and Miranda, the two artists explore the psychology of Prospero in an intriguing production with flashes of Jekyll-and-Hyde, and a dangerously dark undercurrent swirling between father and daughter. Their revels are definitely not ended.

Katie Hartke has taught Shakespeare to cadets at West Point and children in elementary schools.  Just how palatable is Shakespeare with these shining-faced schoolboys and the (not-so) bearded soldiers - and what do they have in common?  Hint: You will be surprised!
