Comment: Re: SHK 5.0769 Re: Bergman *Winters Tale*
Thanks, Bernice, for tell of Bergman's *Winters Tale*. This is an exciting bit
of news. Is there mention of when the production will land in the States?
West Coast also, or only the East? I continue to be haunted and thrilled by
memories of the Bergman *Hamlet*, as much Bergman's as Shakespeare's, and
probably the most exciting evening of theatre I've known. Until that night at
BAM, I was convinced that in a battle between Shakespeare and a heavy-handed
directorial imposition, the loser was bound to be the audience. Not always!
Though old news, are there other SHAKeSPEReans with reactions to that
production?
