There was a flaw found, but it is only operative when one of Lear's step-down transformers is active. Mark Perew

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0226 Wednesday, 2 February 2000. From: C. David Frankel <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Tuesday, 1 Feb 2000 15:20:16 -0500 Subject: More Pop Culture and the Uses of Shakespeare And speaking of the uses of Shakespeare and popular culture: Caravan StageBarge presents As a feature of the Florida Suncoast Writers(tm) Conference, the Caravan StageBarge will present a one-hour discussion and demonstration of the process of transforming a novel into a theatre production. The Caravan is currently developing a new work based on the novel Shakespeare(tm)s Dog by Leon Rooke. Rooke, Jeff Pitcher, the writer of the stageplay, and Paul Kirby, the founder and director of the Caravan, will present their perspective on creating a work of theatre - albeit one in an open-air environment. The demonstration will be presented on the StageBarge, Amara Zee, floating alongside the Marine Science Pier at USF St. Petersburg. Chairs will be provided. Follow the signs! The story features the life of Ann Hathaway and William Shakespeare in the village of Stratford, circa 1592, as seen and told through the eyes of the village dogs. The dogs speak directly to the audience in a language that is pure invention - doggie Elizabethan verse that rolls in the dirt and pisses on your favorite stump. The dogs want the two-footed Shakespeare to write about the four-footed "dogs" of society. Willie wants to write about the concerns of the court, royalty and the landed gentry. As a result we have a conflict, a struggle between the "have's and have-nots." Just who are the "have-nots"....the two-foots or the four-foots? Friday, Feb. 4th 5-6 p.m. Caravan StageBarge at the Marine Science Pier USF St. Petersburg in association with the Florida Suncoast Writers(tm) Conference cdf
The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0225 Wednesday, 2 February 2000. From: Frank Whigham <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Tuesday, 01 Feb 2000 14:03:03 -0600 Subject: Elizabeth's Nose Many years ago I heard a tale, supposedly of Queen Elizabeth's old age, that when her sight had begun to weaken, sometimes her ladies-in-waiting would, for a prank, put red lipstick (or its equivalent) on the tip of her nose, and she'd go through the day's work of audiences and so forth without anyone ever having the nerve to bring it to her attention. The story certainly smells fictional, but has anyone ever heard the like with any kind of evidence? Many thanks. Frank Whigham
