O! Love me some Shakespeare. I watched Richard III at the Utah Cedar City Shakespeare Festival and was mesmerized by their acting troupe! They have a replica Old Globe Theater there, and I stood, in the back, in 105* weather, in summer, literally pouring bottles of water over my head (hot flashes in summer are not recommended) but would NOT leave the theater for air conditioning. It was one of the best experiences of theater I've ever had, hot flashes and all. Can't think of any other playwright who would keep me in thrall like that.
