Women Beware Women
If the play's your thing, you can go to the Shakespeare Theatre's Capitol Hill location to watch students from the Shakespeare Theatre's Academy of Classical Acting perform. This is no amateurish stuff, either. There are costumes, props and the actors are top notch. Women Beware Women by Thomas Middleton, a play that spans the divide between farce, comedy and tragedy in a most entertaining way, will be performed tonight, July 3 at 7:30 pm end its run with a 2pm performance on July 5. RSVP by callng 202. 547.1122 (press 4) or send an e-mail to ACARep09@ShakespeareTheatre.org.
