...violence of the plot is not lost on the Actors’ Shakespeare Project show, which is produced by Sara Stackhouse and runs through April 22. Screams, darkness, ropes, rocks, and a round, ground-level stage greet the audience throughout the play—and that is the set. The simplicity of the stage (designed by Gammons) serves to enhance the symbolism of the few props that the actors have, and the production makes full use of the versatility that is possible with such a stage design.

...they sense that the equinox is approaching, and soon the darkness of winter will be eaten away by more and more light each day. This idea excites us enough that we eventually push our clocks ahead and lose an hour of sleep so that in our excitement we can greet the day earlier. But despite all of this, to me, March 1st holds a more noteworthy quality. In Missouri, it is the first day of trout season and in my hometown in the Ozarks, Trout...
