SHAKESPEARE PLAY St. Louis Shakespeare is one of a handful of theater companies in the U.S. to have performed the entire canon of Shakespeare plays, until “Cardenio” was added to the official roster. Uh, “Cardenio”?

We know Shakespeare wrote a play called “Cardenna,” but we don’t have a manuscript that we trust came from the hand of the Bard. So the Royal Shakespeare Company produced a new version of “Cardenio,” re-imagined and re-constructed by RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran, and it’s this “Cardenio” that St. Louis Shakespeare presents Oct. 6-15 at the Ivory Theater. Set in 1612 Amodovar, Spain, and based on an episode from “Don Quixote,” “Cardenio,” according to SLS Founder Donna Northcott, has elements of “King Lear,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Winter’s Tale” and is fast-paced and accessible. www.stlshakespeare.org. 7622 Michigan Ave., in south St. Louis, 314.534.1111.

[WHERE INSIDE]

St. Louis Your Way

Cyclist

Dog-Lover

Sports Fan

You probably travel with your bike, and a day without a ride feels empty and pointless. Or you just love the occasional pedal, and you're perfectly happy with a rental. Whatever your level of cycle-mania, have we got some trails for you. Start the (1) Riverfront Trail just north of the Gateway Arch and follow it along the Mississippi north past both river views and industrial landscapes to (2) Old Chain of Rocks Bridge which takes you across the Mississippi and connects you with a whole network of terrific trails on the Illinois side. The (3) Katy Trail, a rails-to-trails path that nearly spans the state of Missouri, gets its start close to historic St. Charles on the eastern end, and winds its way beside the Missouri River to Missouri wine country along Highway 94. Bike rentals in St. Charles, Defiance and Augusta.

You probably travel with your dog, and you won't patronize a business that won't accommodate the pooch. Or you just love dogs, and yours is happily relaxing at home.

Whatever your level of canine-mania, we have attractions and restaurants that cater to our four-legged friends. Dog-lovers absolutely must not miss the (1) American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in Queeny Park, where the spacious museum displays an extraordinary collection of dog-related art through the ages. (2) Laumeier Sculpture Park, a 105-acre indoor/outdoor museum, punctuates its scenic pathways in and out of the woods with some 60 works of art by internationally known artists, and dogs are welcome! Dogs are also welcome at the outdoor patio at (3) Three Kings Public House in The Loop.

Your smart phone is vibrating with sports apps, and you're planning to have "I just want to see the score" carved on your tombstone.

Or you're a fair-weather fan who just likes a good game. Whatever your level of sportsmania, we have the venues for you. (1) Ballpark Village delivers sports action on a giant, crystal-clear TV screen and features the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum right across the street from Busch Stadium. The (2) St. Louis Blues get the NHL season going at Scottrade Center with six home games, including one with arch-rival Chicago.
