Still Funny 400 Years Later


Isn't it amazing that 400 years later, we're still laughing at Shakespeare's comedies? Last week "She Stoops to Comedy," Wooly Mammoth's take on Shakespeare's "As You Like It," had me in fits. Cross-dressing, disguised lovers were funny 400 years ago in the first production of "As You Like It" , and the cross-dressing, love-sick players still keep the audience laughing today in "She Stoops to Comedy."

It's playing until April 22nd.

Also, check out the Shakespeare in Washington festival for other cool plays by the Bard going on about town.
