The hits just keep on comin' today. The NEA and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival are putting together a production of 'MacBeth' to tour US military bases.
Yeah, that ought to bring troop morale right up. Nothing like a good production of 'MacBeth' to give you confidence in your leaders and hope for the future. Why not 'Richard III' or 'Titus Andronicus' while you're at it?
Quoth Dana Gioia, chairman of the NEA: "I think it's safe to say that the National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Defense have never before been mentioned in the same sentence."
I dunno, until about five minutes ago I would have bet good money that "Alabama" and "Shakespeare" had never before been mentioned in the same sentence. Shows to go you never know.
