After the performance, the cast will discuss Shakespeare’s changes and how actors and directors choose among Shakespeare’s different texts with the audience. A celebratory reception will follow, including Renaissance music performed by Phil and Gayle Neuman, Alexandra Bonds’s award-winning Shakespeare costumes, and delicious Renaissance savory and sweet treats!
