The Michigan Shakespeare Festival
(MSF) will mount three very different
productions this season at the Village
Theatre inCantonTownship.
Each of the three plays during the 24th
festival season will bring something
unique for audiences including The
Tempest and Measure for Measure by
Shakespeare and The Rover by Aphra
Benn, the first professional woman play-
wright.
The season begins in Jackson July 12
and moves to The Village Theatre in
Canton Aug. 3 for three additional weeks.
Ticket information is available at
.
The Tempest, one of the last plays
Shakespeare ever wrote, will be directed
by Artistic Associate Robert Kauzlaric, an
award-winning director and actor.
Kauzlaric said that in recent years he has
found himself drawn to presenting
Shakespeare's stories through a fairytale
lens and in exploring themes of forgive-
ness and profound personal transforma-
tion. These passions unite perfectly in
TheTempest.
“I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to
work on such a rich, focused, tightly con-
structed play with my MSF family.
Storms, fairies, magic, betrayal, love, and
forgiveness all join with some of
Shakespeare's most beautiful and mature
text - I can't wait for us to travel to
Prospero's island this summer,” Kauzlaric
said.
The second Shakespeare of the season
will be a first for the Michigan
Shakespeare Festival: Measure for
Measure. While billed historically as a
comedy, the themes about injustice, politi-
cal corruption, and sexual hypocrisy tend
to place it firmly within the more modern
convention of “problem plays.” Janice L
Blixt, who will direct, said, “I can't imag-
ine a more timely play than Measure for
Measure- tying abuse of power, Draconian
sentencing, and sexual harassment into
the education of a political leader. And,
believe it or not, it's still a comedy with a
beautiful statement on how the law must
be temperedwithmercy.”
Aphra Benn's 1667 bawdy comedy, The
Rover, rounds out the season. The Rover
tells the story of three Englishmen - a sol-
dier, a gentleman, and a stoic who are
banished from Cromwell's England and
head to Naples to experience Carnevale
and find adventure. They meet three bril-
liant women - one promised in marriage
to a wealthy older man, one promised to
the church, and one a celebrated courte-
san - who challenge and intrigue them.
With duels and disguises, set against the
backdrop of a nation-wide party, the cou-
ples navigate duty conflict, jealousy, and
love in this vibrant Restoration comedy

ORTHVILLE
A Clinton Township resident
has been charged with disturb-
ing the peace as a result of a
bomb threat that closed
Haggerty Road and evacuated
businesses in Northville last
week.
Denis Marku, 36, was
arraigned on the charge on
Friday, June 8, at the 35th
District Court. Judge Michael
Gerou set his bond at $300 cash
which Marku posted, according
to police reports. As a condition
of his bond, Marku is not allowed
on anyMeijer property.
The charges stemmed from
an incident which took place at
about 11:38 a.m. last Wednesday
when Northville Township
Police were called to the Meijer
Store on Haggerty Road in
response to a reported bomb
threat.
When officers arrived at the
store parking lot at 20401
Haggerty Road, they observed
Marku outside his car yelling at
passersby, according to reports
from police. Marku, according to
prosecutor's reports, was over-
heard by a store employee
remarking that people should be
blown up. The store employee
reported the comment to a
Meijer teammember who called
police. Police located Marku's
car in the fire lane in front of the
store and observed a container
with wires attached along with
other suspicious items on the
rear seat.
Northville officers called both
Livonia and Novi police depart-
ments for assistance and evacu-
ated both the Meijer and adja-
cent retail stores. Eight Mile
Road and Haggerty Road were
closed in the area as a precau-
tion, police said.
The Michigan State Police
Bomb Squad arrived at the loca-
tion and examined the items in
Marku's vehicle. Troopers deter-
mined that no bomb or bomb-
makingmaterials were in the car
or in the surrounding area. A K9
Team search by Livonia Police
located no threats inside the
store.
Northville Township detec-
tives presented the circum-
stances and evidence surround-
ing the incident to the Wayne
County prosecutor's office who
opted to charge Marku on one
count of disturbing the peace.
“After review of the facts and
the law, it has been determined
that there is insufficient evi-
dence to charge the defendant
with false report or threat of ter-
rorismor false report or threat of
bomb or harmful device,” stated
a prepared release from the
prosecutor's office. “The defen-
dant has been charged with dis-
turbing the peace, a misde-
meanor which carries maximum
penalty of 90 days in jail,” the
statement concluded.
Marku is scheduled for a pre-
trail hearing at 35th District
Court tomorrow.
