Enjoyable Excellence: REDO

See, that's what happens when I slap something up just because I haven't posted anything in a while. It turns out like my previous post. Bleah!

Let me try again:

Place: Shakespeare Tavern, Atlanta, GA. Play: "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead". 2nd intermission. I lean across the table toward my husband and say, "In my opinion, 'The Player' is stealing the show." He nods enthusiastically, "I know who my loudest applause will be for." Not that the two leads were bad; they weren't. There were no weak actors in the production, in fact. Hamlet was amusing, the queen quite painfully dressed, but ah, Drew Reeves, I think his name was, was a delight to watch. He far outperformed Richard Dreyfuss' rendering in the movie.

We need to see these plays more often.

Wow, I'm impressed - quite a difference in relating the same idea! Cool! I may try that sometime... glad you enjoyed the show. I should do things like that - I'm pleasantly surprised when I go to something (typically a musical), surprised at what a good time I've had. So far we've seen Cats (surprised my wife with that one) and Phantom of the Opera (at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta with my wife, and at what used to be the BJCC - don't recall what it's called now, maybe it's the same thing - in Birmingham with my daughter). I'd like to see Cats again sometime.

Why, thank you.

I wasn't surprised I had a good time; I love plays (I wrote about one my hubby took me to in my "Five for Five" post). We've been to dinner theater at Ft. Gordon.

Yes, it's still the Fox--we passed it on our way to the Tavern.
