Sadly, I've never been to the Boston Harbor Islands in the 20 something years I've lived on the North Shore.

This summer, our Shakespeare teen group did Romeo and Juliet all around the north shore. I'm already planning on next summer... and the Harbor Islands as a destination to bring the show to seemed intriguing.

I believe we're doing Hamlet in August, and Twelfth Night in July. The island destination for Twelfth Night would be pretty awesome...

But I don't know anything ABOUT the islands.

If you've been there, like it, hate it, think it'd be awesome to have an outdoor Shakespeare show there ... send me your feedback. It may spur me on or steer me clear. But I would love to know what your impressions of the islands are.

Rebel Shakespeare Company of Winter Island, Salem MA, is taking its show on the road. The Teen Intensive Program will perform the 9th grade frameworks traditional classic "Romeo and Juliet" in ways you've never imagined.

Shows will be held in Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Marblehead, Newburyport and Haverhill.

Ian gives a mixed review to the Theatre@First production of "Merry Wives of Winsor."

Sooz has one word: go:

... The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet is not only free but it's outstanding! ...
