Shakespeare & Company (Lenox, Massachusetts). A vital group that looks into new ways to make Shakespeare's plays come alive for today's audiences, it was founded in 1978 by Tina Packer, who continues on as artistic director, and acting‐vocal expert Kristin Linklater. The company has performed the Bard's works and stage adaptations of literary classics in the modified‐thrust Founders' Theatre located at the Mount, author Edith Wharton's estate. The troupe has purchased land in Lenox and is currently developing an International Center for Shakespeare Performance and Studies with productions to be staged in an authentic reconstruction of the Rose Playhouse.
