"That way madness lies"


Time for some Shakespeare!

St. Louis Shakespeare's summer season is upon us. This year they're presenting The Odyssey and King Lear over the next month, Romeo and Juliet in the fall, and Edward III (a newly-authenticated Shakespeare!) next spring. They're also doing a reading of War of the Worlds sometime this fall, if I'm interpreting the auditions call correctly.

Last year, we bought two adult and one student season ticket and alternated taking #1-Son and Daughter, which led to some arguments over who was going to which play. This year, to save some bucks and so everybody gets to see everything, and because I know the House Manager now, we're ushering in sets of two -- one adult and one teen -- for two different performances of each play. No arguments and no money spent. Heh. However, #2-Son is fond of Romeo and Juliet (they did a reading of it in his IEP Language Arts class last year, he read Benvolio) and I may end up just paying for two tickets and taking him to a performance.
