The RSC cannot be held responsible for expectant mothers!”

Yes, that’s right. Here is your chance to experience all 37 Shakespeare plays — comedies, tragedies, and histories — in 97 minutes for Free!The play was written for three actors, so when Saavedra read the script she immediately thought of three local thespians: Kyle Paul Dandridge, of Chestnut Hill; Brian Weiser, of Lawndale; and Chris Lepore, of Germantown.
