The Shakespeare play at Agecroft -- you'll like it
Midsummer may be nearing, but the peak of the summer theater season at Agecroft Hall has just arrived. In the lovely Tudor courtyard, Richmond Shakespeare Festival's reprise of "As You Like It" is a laugh-filled, updated take on the Bard's comedy.

Brevity is the soul of this troupe's wit
You might call it an amuse bouche. It's amusing, all right, and it's a little warm-up to Richmond Shakespeare's summer festival at Agecroft Hall. It's "The Compleat Works of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged)," and it's loaded with laughs.
