Yesterday was Darren‘s twenty-fifth birthday. To celebrate we (a Large Group of People) played Laser Tag, which is fast becoming a birthday staple. We also used the occasion to celebrate Becky Ray’s impending Monday birthday. Unfortunately unlike last time, there were no little kids in the laser tag arena to shoot. The red team (of which I was a member) beat the green team three out of five games, even though Alissa‘s gun didn’t work. She threatened to write them a letter.
Today I saw As You Like It as interpreted in the Wild West by the Princeton Repertory Shakespeare Festival. They performed in the middle of Palmer Square, which was an interesting location. They always seem to come up with strange ways of performing Shakespeare. Last year, they did A Midsummer Night’s Dream set in some strange time or location as well.
What? No mention of the excellent work done by Reid Sound (www.reidsound.com!!!!)? 🙂
That’s what your website is for. 🙂
Why, why, oh why? As You Like It in the Wild West? That’s just so very WRONG!!! I’m not one of those fanatic Shakespeare purists who say that you shouldn’t play with the details (no pun intended), but that show in particular doesn’t lend itself to the old West at all (particularly as the action very specifically takes place in the FOREST, thank you very much).
Ahem. Sorry for the violent outburst.
