Shakespeare: ALL of him
In an extraordinarily ambitious move, London's Royal Shakespeare Company is doing something which has never been done before: staging all 37 of Shakespeare's plays and poems during one event.
The Complete Works of Shakespeare kicks off April 23, the Bard's birthday, and continues for an entire year, covering the classics you've come to expect and love from Shakespeare, as well as lesser known pieces such as Timon of Athens and The Phoenix and the Turtle. Famous actors participating will include Patrick Stewart as Prospero in The Tempest, Judi Dench as Mistress Quickly in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and an army of inch-high plastic ninja soldiers starring in all roles of Hamlet.
With so much good stuff, you may just have to move to London to catch this spectacular season of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

And for those who can't make it to London, the Royal Shakespeare Company is performing 3 plays at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI over 3 weeks in October and November. It will be their only performances in the United States in 2006. They are performing Antony and Cleopatra (with Patrick Stewart as Antony), Julius Caesar, and The Tempest (also with Patrick Stewart playing prospero).
