Fluffy Musings Of A Southern Transplant Posing As A Lipstick Librarian...

30 June 2005


Wow. I've wanted to see a production of Shakespeare in the Park at the Delacorte Theater since I was in high school. (Okay - not a terribly long time... eight years) Tim and I got to the park super early to get the free daily tickets (how democratic!) and got to spend the whole day frolicking until the show. We did everything from strolling through the Shakespeare Garden, visiting the Central Park Zoo and Belvedere Castle, gazing at the beautiful Bethesda Fountain, and even going to a free "Summer Stage" concert featuring Tegan and Sara. Could it get any better? After all of that, Tim bought us some picnicking foods and we went to see a fabulous production of As You Like It. Do you recognize the two actors in the picture? That is Lynn Collins (Rosalind) who was recently in the film "Merchant of Venice" and Richard Thomas (Touchstone) who is otherwise known as "John-Boy!" (He was actually really good as Touchstone!) Not that the production focused on having an all-star cast, but a marriage of the play to talented actors. The most noteworthy character was Jacques, played by Brian Bedford who was the voice of Disney's Robin Hood way back in the day. He had an amazing sense of presence! Other pictures from the show, the Tegan and Sara concert, and the rest of this day can be found here.

Suzy,
Very cute web site. It will be a great way for me to see what you've been up to.
When I was a wee lass my family took me to Ashland, Oregon. The town is devoted to Shakespeare plays. I got to see Macbeth (the witches freaked me out!!!), and A Midsummer Nights Dream. Since then I have seen some more great productions.
I hope you are feeling better.
I'm trying to get Jenni interested in another NYC trip for next year.
