Shakespeare Theater Plan Dead Again

The Connecticut Post reports: Like a character in a long-running tragedy, a plan by a Rhode Island developer to revive the Shakespeare Theater appears to be dead, the latest in a serious of failed attempts over 21 years to re-open the Elm Street showcase.

Town Attorney Richard Buturla recommended Monday night to the Town Council that it reject what he called theater producer Bill Hanney's "final contract offer" changed at the last minute by Hanney to exclude key provisions that protects the town, and adds language that puts the town at serious financial risk.

"There are serious changes in what Mr. Hanney and Mr. Knott (attorney for Hanney Barry Knott) indicate is their final contract proposal that would put the town in great jeopardy."

While the council did not vote on the recommendation, Mayor James R. Miron said the 11th hour changes by the developer are "completely unacceptable," and that "you could put a gun to my head and I will never sign this contract."
