Good morning everyone --

I feel that old pang this morning as I note that the Winedale season is over and they're packing up today over at the Barn.  Was wonderful to enjoy the plays with many old-timers this weekend.

In the meantime, in the spirit of our continuing education, this piece might be of interest -- it might just provide some helpful background to those of you less familiar with what led up to Shakespeare's flowering in medieval England.  Enjoy...
