Do It. "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at the Broad Stage.

As far as Shakespeare goes, you can't do much better than seeing a show at the recreated Globe Theatre in London. But if you can't quite make it over to the Old Country any time soon, Santa Monica's Broad Stage is offering the next best thing: a run of "The Merry Wives of Windsor."

The production is put on by the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre group, which means that you'll basically be getting the same performers and show as London. It's the first time the group has done an international tour like this, and the Broad Stage is its first stop. And being at the Broad Stage has a major plus -- besides being a pretty nice venue -- you also don't have to worry about being a groundling.

"The Merry Wives of Windsor" runs starting tonight until Oct. 24 at the Broad Stage, located at 1310 11th St. in Santa Monica. Buy your tickets here.

Check It. 'Real Women Have Curves.'

Last week, the play-based-on-a-movie Real Women Have Curves debuted at the Long Beach Playhouse's stage. Based on the 2002 movie featuring Ugly Betty star America Ferrera, this play is about a young woman working in an East LA factory, filled with full-figured women sewing clothes together, forming bonds and going beyond body type.

Touching upon such perennial themes as immigration, identity, and gender this movie lends itself well to a play adaptation.

Real Women Have Curves is $22 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday matinee.

The Long Beach Playhouse is located at 5021 E. Anaheim St. in Long Beach.
