Today's ASC memory is from ASC vet actor Bernard Bygott about 2005's COMEDY OF ERRORS:

"Hugging fellow Dromio, James Keegan, at the end. I learned that there is nothing better at the end of a show where you have given everything than a hug from a brother who has done the same."

Mocking hypocrisy and skewering corrupt authority, Shakespeare's MEASURE FOR MEASURE weaves a morality tale where the falsely virtuous are exposed and true-hearted victims rewarded. Directed by Jenny Bennett and now playing thru Aug 12!

Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew has always been and is still a love story. Now, here is a production at @shakespearectr that fully plays it that way, turning textual nuggets into a viable, relatable story arc for Katherina and Petruchio. https://t.co/4pp0TShkDT

Today's ASC memory is from Aidan O'Reilly: "My fave folks to be a guide to are my nieces Bella & Willa (seen here w/ my mom Lily). I think dreaming is something you should never grow out of & the Blackfriars is a gorgeous place to help you remember that." https://t.co/Z3Y2jyomBb

ASC memory from Alexi Sargeant: "The first ASC show I saw was MEASURE FOR MEASURE. I must have looked timid while Pompey teased me, because Mistress Overdone came over, gave me a pat on the cheek, ad-libbing 'No need to be so nervous, dearie' before dropping back into the text."
