SINGAPORE, March 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Fans of William Shakespeare will be able to see a new production of the Bard's romantic comedy Twelfth Night as part of the Singapore Repertory Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park season.
Taking place at Fort Canning Park from April 25th to May 20th 2012, the performance will allow attendees to enjoy food, drink and entertainment under the stars as they experience one of Shakespeare's most charming and witty plays.
Twelfth Night tells a comically convoluted tale of mistaken identity, cross-dressing and twisted love triangles, with the Singapore performance to be directed by Bruce Guthrie.
Other members of the creative team include the award-winning likes of production designer Robin Don, lighting designer Rick Fisher and sound designer Mike Walker.
Advance tickets for the preview show on April 25th cost S$35 (GBP17.60), with Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday passes costing S$45, and Saturday and public holiday shows priced at S$55.
Guests also have the choice of paying extra for special pavilion packages, which include the cost of a seat, two glasses of wine or soft drinks, canapes and a souvenir programme.

PHILADELPHIA — A growing body of evidence underscores the importance of human gut bacteria in modulating human health, metabolism, and disease. Yet bacteria are only part of the story.

Pediatricians' pain-medication judgments affected by unconscious racial bias, says UW study
2012-03-20
Pediatricians who show an unconscious preference for European Americans tend to prescribe better pain-management for white patients than they do for African-American patients, new University of Washington research shows.

In a newly published paper, York argues for a shift in political and economic policies to embrace the concept that continued growth in energy consumption is not sustainable.
Many nations, including the United States, are actively pursuing technological advances to reduce the use of fossil fuels to potentially mitigate human contributions to climate-change. The approach of the International Panel on Climate Change assumes ...
