But I can't agree that the best way to enjoy it is in a theatre. The local productions that show up here are pretty badly done. This may not be the case everywhere but it is here. Also, the recent PBS versions are a mixed bag. Some of them are VERY well done and some are just average. For my money, I'll take the printed versions anytime. J.L. Giles (...utah-cs!lanl-a!jlg) P.S. What time of year is it when "Now is the winter of our discontent..."? Why it's summer of course! The whole line reads "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York." Why is it that people are only familiar with the first half of that line?
