Celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday! What inspires contemporary theatrical companies to perform Shakespeare’s plays? Why do we still find them fascinating?

This summer Fenix will perform Henry IV, Part One. Portland’s Fenix Theatre Company presents this special lecture with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
