Susan Carlisle asked Sally Kilpatrick:

What is the first Shakespearean play you ever saw?

Sally Kilpatrick Oh, this is such a good question, too! When you asked, I realized that a group of actors came by my sixth grade class. I know they did opera, and I want to say they performed a scene from Shakespeare, too. Dare I guess? It's been forever, but I think it was As You Like It, at the very least the "all the world's a stage" part. I do remember quite clearly what most recently got me interested in Shakespeare again: the Shakespeare Tavern. Ryan took me there for Valentine's Day to see Romeo and Juliet, and I've been back many times to see Much Ado, Twelfth Night, and this great thing they do where they put the complete works into a short, comedic play. Shakespeare Tavern is the way to go--they really know how to make the plays come alive.
