You have another opportunity to catch one of the two fi lmed versions of Danny Boyle’s celebrated 2012 National Theater of London Live stage production of Frankenstein at TSL in Hudson at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 29. In its Olivier Award-winning London run, two TV Sherlocks, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, took turns playing Victor Frankenstein and his undead creation. Both shared highly enthusiastic reviews. In this encore presentation, Cumberbatch will play the Creature and Miller will play the role of Victor Frankenstein. Call ahead to make a reservation; these screenings often sell out.

Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, well deserved from this view, and a portion of the body of work on which he’s been judged was created in Woodstock. People often wonder about how an actor learns the long soliloquies of Shakespeare. But most can readily quote Dylan. See if you can follow the meandering puzzle below.
