In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare wrote that "the course of true love never did run smooth."
But from all accounts, the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream did run smoothly when recorded for broadcast on WVXU at 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30.
Here's how Kevin Reynolds, Cincinnati Public Radio's community relations manager, cleverly announced the broadcast in a WVXU news release. It reminds me of another Shakespeare line from A Midsummer Night’s Dream: "Take pains. Be perfect."
I can't top this, so I'll cut and paste it:
