“Will on the Hill†10th Anniversary : No Holds Bard
It’s a good thing I have tough skin (sort of) because I felt a twinge of a pinch (ouch!) a few times during Monday night’s 10th annual “Will on the Hill†production by the Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC) at Sidney Harman Hall. Alas, if I can’t laugh at myself, I will just cry. That’s not [...]
