As They Like It

The Sound Shore Shakespeare Festival is back, enveloping the city of New Rochelle and its environs. This time, the Bard buffs (aka the New Rochelle Council on the Arts) have joined forces with the New Rochelle Public Library, which has chosen “Romeo and Juliet” for its “One City, One Book” community read.  From the library’s April 7 presentation of the 1936 film version of “Romeo and Juliet,” with Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer way-too-old yet utterly spot-on as the star-crossed lovers, to the “Shakepeare’s Women” juried art show at the Museum of Arts & Culture, it’s a trove of goodies.
