"On the 400th anniversary of his death, what makes Shakespeare endure as a seminal artistic figure in a city thousands of miles from the land of his birth? What brings Angelinos back to Shakespeare summer after summer? Why has a Moliere summer festival never taken hold? Is 'The Imaginary Invalid' or 'Tartuffe' not as theatrical, and goofy, and accessible as 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' or 'Romeo and Juliet?'" --BY MAUREEN LENKER
