'Tis a wonder, by your leave, she will be tamed so.

In the randomness department:

Whenever I'm stuck in traffic, I can't help but wonder, 'Where did the creator of The Jetsons go, and why hasn't he done something about this?'
~ Jimmy Fallon

Hehehe. So true.

Well...I promised an entry about our dear Shakespearean nonsense. Apparently it was very good nonsense since we got reviewed in a local arts reviewing paper, and they called it "Shakespeare's funniest play ever in the hands of this extroverted bunch" or something like that.
Had us grinning.
Our wonderful director created such great blocking- physical comedy got a huge proportion of the laughs; picture Lucentio as Cambio giving Baptista a bear hug when the two first meet (that was closing night, the other times he just shook his hand like a madman, but still). Grumio was magnificent and consistently stole the show with his utter craziness.
His conversation with Curtis in Act 4 Scene 1 was brilliant- he begins "crying" quite hard as he describes his journey home, losing it entirely as he declares that he "lost his crupper" and falling upon Curtis' neck and wailing.
After about 10 seconds, he turns to the audience, stage whispers "I'm fine" and then goes back to his loud sobbing on Curtis' shoulders.
Closing night we had Hortensio declare his identity by stating "I am Hortensio Travolta" and causing the chorus to quietly lose our composure. Basically, it was utter mayhem, but very controlled mayhem. We had a lot of fun, I must say; I am dreadfully sorry it's over.
The laughs just built up and up and up with every performance; our final night we had about 105 people in attendance! (That was our biggest crowd.) And they laughed far more than any other crowd, even getting the Shakespearean wit that all the other audiences just didn't pick up on. It was wonderful, it was hilarious, it was...over.
And now I am left here behind, trying to catch up on everything I've procrastinated on. Including writing. Well, there you have it. If you don't know the play I apologise; this entry probably didn't make a lick of sense.
At the end of this week my job ends and then I have a few weeks at home before school starts again. This may mean the end of my blogging for awhile; I can't honestly say. But I do promise that if it is to be the end I will return and post at least once more to let y'all know.
Cheers!
