What’s in a Name: The upstart Shakespeare, L.A. group, at odds with the more established Shakespeare Festival/LA over the similarity of the two names, has changed to the Los Angeles Shakespeare Company. Does that satisfy the bigger group? Its director, Ben Donenberg, said the company’s lawyer pointed out that the new moniker could be shortened in headlines to LA Shakespeare, so before pronouncing the dispute dead, he’ll consult with his board and with that lawyer, who is now on vacation. In the meantime, Donenberg’s company currently is presenting a show called “Let’s Kill All the Lawyers.”
