There are only a few weeks left of the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane University, and I urge you to attend a show! My show of choice for this year's festival was THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED). I have attended the Shakespeare Festival before and have always enjoyed seeing various renditions of my Shakespeare favorites, and when I saw that THE COMPLETE WORKS was being tackled I knew I couldn't pass it up.

As a dramatist, Shakespeare was the consummate master of love stories. ROMEO AND JULIET is his iconic tale of young love. His tragedy ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA concerns the ill-fated midlife romance of its real-life hero and heroine. Now, Beatrice and Benedick, the sparring adversaries of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, will be re-imagined as senior citizens in The Old Vic's upcoming production, which stars Vanessa Redgrave (76) and James Earl Jones (82) in the lead roles.

While the adaptation of the classic tale is not particularly inspiring, this show is one to see for the creative staging and design work as well as a talented group of actors led by the extraordinary Alex Mills.

Several high profile Shakespearean productions gear up to hit stages and movie theatres around the globe in the latter months of 2013. Here is a preview of three of the most anticipated events to watch for in the coming months.

Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's 'Free Shakespeare On The Common' is celebrating its 18th season with a production of Shakespeare's comedy THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, inspired by Rat Pack-era Vegas. Among the cast is NCIS: Los Angeles' Peter Cambor, who stars as Proteus, best friend to Valentine (Andrew Burnap) and fickle lover to Julia (Jenna Augen). BroadwayWorld recently spoke with Cambor about his Boston roots at A.R.T., playing a fair-weather friend and beau, his love of cooking and podcasting, and more!

There is much to love about the innovative production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Tom Morris, that is currently playing at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, S.C. as part of the Spoleto Festival. A spare company of twelve actors enacts a large cast of characters with the help of puppets composed of inventive materials ranging from classical masks to simple workmen's tools. A co-production by the U.K.'s Bristol Old Vic and Handspring Puppet Company from South Africa, the production is a visual feast chock full of imaginative surprises.
