He&#8217;s an internationally famous actor. He was also in the Tallahassee performance of Midsummer Nights Dream almost 30 years ago and said it&#8217;s great to be back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It feels absolutely wonderful because it&#8217;s something I always wanted to happen. I spoke to Janet Hinkle last year via Facebook and because of that fateful conversation, here I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Janet Hinkle being a Southern Shakespeare board member. Another colorful cast member is Adam Segaller, a celebrated British-American actor and TV writer from Los Angeles. He plays Falstaff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Falstaff is called &#8216;that villainous, abominable misleader of youth.&#8217; But really he&#8217;s teaching Prince Henry a few lessons about being king.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The production also features fantastic swordplay. The tenth anniversary Southern Shakespeare Festival in the park runs Thursday through Sunday. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2025 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1137,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
