...some thing for everyone: politics and religion, sin and redemption-if it is in the human condition, it is in the Shakespearean canon. Most of the year, Shakespeare resides quietly in the volumes of his work. But each summer he thunders and chuckles in festivals from the Spokane Expo to Central Park. For those sun-flooded weeks, the Swan of Avon returns to the group for whom he really wrote - the audience.

Moreover, when the fair ends in November, it will leave the city with a new 2,700-seat opera house (in the $11.9 million Washington State pavilion), convention facilities, the Canada Park, the Boeing Amphitheater (as a civic center) and the Bavarian Gardens, a decagon of glass, fir and larch housing a German restaurant. In return for the $78.4 million cost of the fair, the city already boasts 7,200 new jobs and a $200 million boost to the economy. More important, perhaps, Expo...
