I have not seen Wilhelm Tell performed live, but several years ago I did see a performance of Schiller's Mary Stuart about the last days of Mary, Queen of the Scots.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231952.post-8914469245133815092015-11-04T20:44:21.337-06:002015-11-04T20:44:21.337-06:00Lizzy,

But tell me more about the challenge. Where do I find the "rules" and other details? Forgive my blogging ignorance.
