The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles (SCLA) continued the celebration of its 25th anniversary by holding its 21st Simply Shakespeare reading of "The Merry Wives of Windsor." The participants for this rhinestone-studded cast in a down-home evenin' that was more colorful than a clown at a rodeo included Christina Applegate, Kenneth Branagh, Faith Hill, Eric Idle, Arte Johnson, Eugene Levy, Tim McGraw, William Shatner, Martin Short, Tracey Ullman and the co-chairs of the event Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, all of whom read one of Shakespeare's best known and beloved comedies.
