Arguably, William Shakespeare is the greatest playwright the English language has known. In his play AS YOU LIKE IT, the character Jacques has the famous monologue which begins with the famous words, "All the world's a stage and the men and women merely players…" To explorer Richard Wiese, the words ring true and his new television series BORN TO EXPLORE vividly prove that Shakespeare knew what he was talking about. Each episode of the show provides the viewers with stunning scenery, high drama and a true exploration of the human condition. It's television at its best.

In a season already packed with hits, the Rep smacks a home run with David Mamet's profanely brilliant play, RACE. Managing to expound not only about race, but also on how the justice system works in some cases, Mamet produces a wonderfully provocative work that seems designed to have tongues wagging after the performance. A splendid cast and smart, incisive direction come together to produce a masterwork. This fast-paced and driving play never lets up for a minute, and leaves the audience with plenty to chew on afterward.
