Much Ado About Rebel Shakespeare
By amusings - 8/19/10 - 6:06 pmHello Uhubbers,
I totally forgot to tell the Uhub community about the Othello tour, which you maybe would have liked... doh. So I'm hoping this part of your summer you have room for a little Free Shakespeare. Rebel Shakespeare Company is touring the North Shore (and making a stop in the Sudbury Valley) with "Much Ado About Nothing." Ten shows from August 20-29. These high school students have 3 weeks with the text and then they bring it around to people wherever they can. Find the full tour Dossier at our website, RebelShakespeare.org and click on the Much Ado daisy. Three shows in Salem, and one in each of the following towns: Danvers, Rockport, Amesbury, North Andover, Haverhill and Sudbury. Come out and enjoy some fun. thanks!

By adamg - 5/7/10 - 12:43 pmPolice on the North Shore are looking for a guy who robbed a bank in Saugus on Tuesday and then, after the dye pack exploded and showered him with red ink, robbed a bank in Peabody:
Suspect was wearing a black and brown Red Sox ball cap, black sunglasses, a black longsleeve shirt/pullover with white shirt underneath, black shorts and black and white sneakers.

He also had dye on his fingers in our video. He is believed to have fled the area in a 2005-2008 Audi A6, color white, with sunroof.
