Much Ado About Nothing

[chickenfeet]

OK, so perhaps that's the ultimate headline for my LJ but in this case it refers to the play by that Shakespeare bloke that we went to see last night. Specifically, it was the Canstage production in High Park. I haven't been to the annual High Park thing for a few years and it was good to be back. It was a most pleasant evening much improved by the vast picnic that Paris provided.

The production was really pretty decent. It was a 1930s setting that worked well enough. I particularly liked the lighting after it got dark enough to be fully effective. I was pleased and surprised to see my old rugby buddy, André Sills, appearing as Conrad and the Friar. The programme suggests that he's been getting plenty of work since he graduated including an Othello with Bay Stage,

All in all, a worthwhile evening.

My god, they did something other than Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummernight's Dream. Still sound pretty good.
