Eight Great things to do in Richmond

With 30-plus miles of shoreline, two yacht clubs, endless hiking and cycling trails, and a host of eateries, Richmond has a lot to offer. Each week, Grandview highlights what we think are the best, not-to-be-missed events and offerings from across the city.

INTO THE BREECHES @Masquers Playhouse

INTO THE BREECHES
by George Brant, directed by Marilyn Langbehn
Oberon Play House’s director and leading men are off at war with the Axis. Determined to press on, the director’s wife sets out to produce an all-female version of Shakespeare’s Henriad, assembling an increasingly unexpected team united in desire, if not actual theatre experience. Together, they deliver a delightful celebration of collaboration and persistence when the show must go on!
