		<description><![CDATA[In the past we&#8217;ve groused (see, for instance, this post) about how the Stratford Shakespeare Festival has flat-out ignored the Shakespeare authorship question and has snubbed those who think that Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, rather than Will Shakespeare, the actor and businessman from Stratford, was probably the real author of Twelfth Night and Julius Caesar.

		<description><![CDATA[When we were ordering our Shaw Festival tickets last winter, it occurred to us that our bodacious granddaughter might well enjoy seeing this year&#8217;s production of My Fair Lady. We were not mistaken. The eight-year-old was riveted by the opening ballet-like scene in Covent Garden, thrilled to the waltzing at the Embassy Ball, and laughed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=emsworth.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3879306&amp;post=6358&amp;subd=emsworth&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We found J. M. Barrie&#8217;s The Admirable Crichton, now playing at the Shaw Festival (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario), so clever and delightful in every detail that we&#8217;ll see it again if we can. We haven&#8217;t enjoyed ourselves so much at the theater in a long time.
