"All the world's a stage... But I don't want to get hit by lightning."
It's a curse. I shall not see a full Shakespeare production this summer.
We drove out to see Redfeather Theatre do As You Like It - which is about an hour away from where we live. Got there just in time with our Wendy's meals (didn't think to get dinner ahead of time), and settled in on our picnic blanket to watch. They even gave me a student discount though I don't have my ID yet. We got through almost an hour of the production (I think to Act II, Scene 7 of the play itself) when the clouds grew dark and menacing and started flashing lightning prompting the actor playing Jacques to utter the title line instead of the famous speech.
The ad lib certainly amused my boyfriend (hereafter referred to as Doyle because I'm tired of always saying "my boyfriend") but shut down the production pretty effectively. And now we spent another hour driving back through heavy rain. I didn't even get to see Rosalind quote Marlowe! Very, very sad.
