This partial ownership allowed him more control over what shows his company would put on stage. The combination of these factors inspired and challenged Shakespeare, and spurred his writing to be better than it had ever been. Shapiro?...

First years endure backaches courtesy of Sanders Theatre??s wooden benches to snooze through Ec 10. Others slip through the cracks in worthy—but huge—classes such as Justice. Still others confuse remote, if interesting, subject matter for the foundational ideas they seek (ahem, Fairy Tales, ahem...
