		<description><![CDATA[Once again, the play to see at the Shaw Festival this year (2012) is one of Shaw&#8217;s own.  Misalliance is a great-looking show with a razor-sharp cast that misses none of Shaw&#8217;s subtle wit and wisdom. I couldn’t help thinking that Shaw must have felt pulled in different directions at the point in his career [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=emsworth.wordpress.com&#038;blog=3879306&#038;post=6918&#038;subd=emsworth&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

As I noted in an earlier post, Wodehouse&#8217;s stories are full of allusions and quotations from Shakespeare. What would make it unusual is that Wodehouse drew mostly from the best-known Shakespeare plays; I&#8217;m not aware [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=emsworth.wordpress.com&#038;blog=3879306&#038;post=6832&#038;subd=emsworth&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
