My connection to Sondheim began as so many others did: on the stage of a high school auditorium.

Brimming with talent, “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is a film of quiet intoxication.

Berkeley Shakespeare Company’s “Macbeth” is well-executed and incredibly intimate, and although it’s not the fanciest production around, the play is undeniably full of charm and talent.

The production’s set is remarkable for its realism and sheer presence; almost identical encampments can be found in many places throughout the Bay Area.

From his tragedies to his romances, Billy Shakes was all about the drama. Since we could all use a little extra spice in our lives, we at the Clog invite you to take this quiz to find out which two Shakespeare plays you could most use in your life right now.

“Remember that what you’re doing is important. Literature is important. Have a great night!”

I didn’t need a big part in every show, or even in most shows — but I think the parts you gave me were a symptom of our incompatibility.
