We caught a very entertaining production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing here last night. They played the comedic scenes with Beatrice and Benedick really broadly — the scenes with Dogberry, Verges, and the night watch are inescapably and hilariously broad already — and the audience loved it. (So far as I could tell, the theater was full.)
We have loved our many years of faithful attendance here at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. I commend the Festival to anybody who isn’t already familiar with it. It’s a family tradition of just the kind that I always wanted to have.
We met several people that we know, including Tom Alexander and his wife. That’s always fun. And there were a few who came up told me that they appreciate some of my work. That’s always gratifying — and (sorry!) it more than compensates for the unceasing hostility of my anonymous online critics.
This is a good place to run into good people.
