Nothing's gone the way I thought it would at the movies. I thought I'd be bored with "Dune"-- I was thoroughly engrossed. I thought I'd find "The Last Duel" compelling--I was disengaged.

Actors' Shakespeare Project has returned to the stage this fall with a "rebooted" version of Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE which they have kicked into the 21st century under the direction of the audaciously talented Igor Golyak, artistic director of Arlekin Players Theatre and now, Shakespeare's so-called "problem play."
