The Oak Park Festival Theatre today announced its summer show, William Shakespeare's THE WINTER'S TALE, opening July 16 and running through August 20 at Austin Gardens.

If your appetite for Shakespeare's history plays was whetted by PBS's recent series "The Hollow Crown," be of good cheer; King John is now receiving a solid production by the WSC Avant Bard. A rare gem, King John is a must for Shakespeare enthusiasts, not least because the play's complex plot renders it extremely difficult to stage. You will have the rare treat of seeing this unjustly neglected piece in fine form.
