There are 83 copies of the First Folio in a vault beneath Capitol Hill - the world's largest collection. Well over 150 Indian movies are based on Shakespeare's plays - more than in any other nation.

Ranging ambitiously across four continents and 400 years, Worlds Elsewhere is an eye-opening account of how Shakespeare went global.

This stage play takes place in Boston in the year 1638 and tells the story of Anne Hutchinson, a nearly forgotten colonial woman whose independence and spiritual insights were hundreds of years ahead of her time. Despite the historical distance, the themes of this drama are very contemporary: the abuse of a strong-willed, brilliant woman in a male- dominated society; the hypocrisy of power-hungry clergy; personal experience versus rigid dogma. The plot centers around the trial in which Anne Hutchinson is ultimately excommunicated and banished from the colony for her opinions. The essence of...

For nearly 30 years, Clark Gable was "the King" of Hollywood. Female fans swooned, and male admirers were made envious of his unaffected masculinity. Through jaunty, self-assured performances in films like It Happened One Night, San Francisco, Mutiny on the Bounty, and Gone with the Wind, he carved a niche for himself as the quintessential American movie star.

Orson Welles is a one-person play in two acts about the life and times of Orson Welles. Some say that Orson Welles was a genius, but he always denied that. He did give us Citizen Kane, considered by most critics to be the best film ever made, but after that, his career took one long downward plunge. The play finds Welles trying to find the financing for one of his film projects. It's a difficult task, since most of the Hollywood community considers him to be a "screwball".
