“Summary of 2017 Theatre Eddys at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland”

The following is my final rank-order of the ten plays I saw this year in Ashland at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  I was lucky enough to see all but one of the 2017 season’s offerings.

The list starts with what I consider the best show of the year, that one being among many good ones.  I include the “E” ratings given each and a link to my review.

1^st.  Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles, 5 E

2^nd.  Shakespeare in Love, 5 E

3^rd.  Henry IV, Part One, 5 E

4^th. JuliusCaesar, 5 E

5^th.  Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, 5 E

6^th.  UniSon, 4 E

7^th.  Hannah and the Dread Gazebo, 4 E

8^th.  Merry Wives of Windsor, 3.5 E

9^th.  Henry IV, Part Two, 3.5 E

10^th The Odyssey, 2.5 E

In addition, I saw and reviewed The Drowsy Chaperone at Oregon Cabaret Theatre, rated ‘5 E’.  If placing in the above listing, it would be 5.5.
