My Mother and my sister hate Shakespeare, but they endure him to watch me act. They were thrilled when I did Agatha Christie last year.Myrhafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340507405537605164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-48649277114101466692008-08-22T08:11:00.000-07:002008-08-22T08:11:00.000-07:00Thanks for your little bright light today, Myrhaf!...Thanks for your little bright light today, Myrhaf!<BR/><BR/>I've never been big on Shakespeare, but your post makes me want to give it a try!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04142486680257277620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-3328535702424128152008-08-18T19:05:00.000-07:002008-08-18T19:05:00.000-07:00That sounds great, Myrhaf!LB and I used to go see ...That sounds great, Myrhaf!<BR/><BR/>LB and I used to go see the troupe Shakespeare and Company near Tanglewood in western Massachusetts, and some of the plays were done outside. Like your description, it was so pleasant and intimate on a summer afternoon and evening.
