I believe it was 1990 and 1991.
Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 4, No. 877. Wednesday, 1 December 1993. From: Anthony Korotko Hatch <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Tuesday, 30 Nov 1993 16:16:06 -0500 (EST) Subject: coming events For those in the Boston area: *HENRY IV PART I* opens tomorrow at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA (Loeb Drama Center, 64 Brattle Street), directed by Ron Daniels. The production is set in a fictitious country with references to the American Civil War and Northern Ireland. Daniels is quoted in the Harvard Gazette as describing the plays as "[being about] the cement-heads in power, monolithic in their situations as various groups vie for power. Order dies and the boundaries of civilization fray, but eventually the country is reborn, stronger than before." Daniels' *HAMLET* received a lot of mixed reviews when it played at the A.R.T. a few years ago, but most of the people I know who saw it (I missed the production) were eager to praise or tear it apart...at least it was interesting. Anyway, PART I will run through Jan. 1st. PART II opens Dec. 3rd and will perform in repertory through Jan. 2nd. You can catch both PARTs each sunday in December at 2pm (I) and 7pm (II).

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 4, No. 876. Wednesday, 1 December 1993. From: Anthony Korotko Hatch <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Tuesday, 30 Nov 1993 15:54:13 -0500 (EST) Subject: past events Did anyone attend a mock trial at Fanueil Hall in Boston last month? The question of William S.'s identity was to have been debated: William Shakspeare of Avon, or Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford? Stratfordians favoring plain William were led by Phillip Cronin, a lawyer, with Louis Marder (former editor of the Shakespeare Newsletter?) as his expert witness. Allan van Gestel, another lawyer, argued the Oxford case, with Charles Vere, Earl of Buford, as his witness. Judge Edward F. Harrington presided. Just happened to see an ad for the event while rummaging through last month's newspaper pile and was wondering if it was fun (and who won?).

I remember because I played several small parts in the production. Balz Engler Basel University, Switzerland

It is still available to the public, and accessible via the internet.

I sent a private message advising the student to get his/her body to the library, on the idea that learning HOW to find the info was probably more important than the information itself. I did suggest a few sources, like the Audubon Field Guide to the Stars and the Azimov Shakespeare book, but suggested he/she should make the aquaintance of the local reference librarian, that there was no free lunch on the Net. The student wrote back that the Net was as good a source as any; and apparently someone did provide the information. Do I type myself (show my age?) if I believe that "Access to Tools" (ala Whole Earth Catalog) is the whole idea? Jim Schaefer, Homo Grumpus
