Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Lois & Clark Our favorite villain in a different role

My apologies if this is in the wrong section, but it just didn't seem to be quite "off topic" since Lane Davies is a favorite amongst Lois and Clark fans.

Last night a friend and I attended the Tennessee Shakespeare Festival in beautiful Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Thanks to the Webb School allowing him to use their facilities, Lane has been able to bring Shakespeare to our area for the third summer. It's truly Shakespeare for the masses, and IMHO, this year's presentation was the best yet. He incorporated the venue's proximity to Nashville and made the main characters up-and-coming country singers. And then to make it even better, a team of talented lyricists took some favorite country songs and fit them seamlessly into the show.

If you are anywhere near middle Tennessee, you should make an effort to attend. There's a performance tonight and three more next weekend. They operate on a shoestring budget (and the shoestring is mighty short) so word of mouth advertising is crucial for them. I enjoy doing my part.

Lane introduces the show. He wasn't on stage in a performance capacity this year; he only directed



The set at intermission. My apologies for not thinking to take photos before it got dark.



He really IS a darned nice guy -- quite accessible to the audience and his fans. Now you see why I wasn't thinking of photographing the set.

Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for sharing that with us. I love the pics!

It makes sense that Mr. Davies is involved in this project -- Even in L&C, he carried himself like an actor trained in Shakespearean theatre. I think that training was what helped him portray Tempus as being both larger than life in his mannerisms and speech and yet believable. (Or, at least as believable as any of the L&C villains.)

Joy,
Lynn

And also Tempus' contempt for TV

Nice to see the pictures, Marilyn:)
