So many shows....
Three shows in three nights. Not too shabby.
As I burbled before, Oedipus was quite good. I am a sucker for ritual and ceremony, so the Chorus doesn't bother me - also, this Chorus was not the kind that repeats every single line, but rather a representation of the people that introduced the themes and augmented the key points. Peter Macon is restless and relentless in his search for the truth, and his two opening speeches were perfect models of a good and strong leader. And the costumes for the royals - eeeeeeeeeeee. So very pretty - postmodern and sumptuous in their simplicity.
Henry V was what it was. There were a few good performances. I was disappointed with the space.
Since everyone and their mother was telling us to go to Jeune Lune's The Miser, we did. Man, I'm glad we did. Damn good production, and Steven Epp is fucking brilliant. It's apleasure to watch someone who is so completely in control of what he does that you don't even notice it.
I didn't do much more this weekend. We did go to G0 after the show on Saturday, but I really wasn't into it, which made me a little sad. Z ran into a couple people from his high school. That was weird. As was being able to put a couple faces to names.
Phew. Tired, and work is threatening to turn into a clusterfuck. Back to the grindstone....
