Phaedra, Henry V, and Milk

Las Cruces, NM

We enjoyed the Community Theatre's production of Racine's Phaedra. And several nights later we were thrilled when The Acting Company and Guthrie Theatre presented Henry V for one night only at the Hershel Zohn Theatre on the New Mexico State University campus. We watched Kenneth Branagh's Henry V on DVD the night before to prepare us for an evening of Shakespeare. The small stage came alive with action as the actors recreated the famous Battle of Agincourt. The company founded in 1974 has performed for over two million people in forty-eight states and nine foreign countries.

The next night we saw the movie Milk, which is an Oscar winning screenplay, at the lovely Fountain Theatre. -L
