Here’s the thing…it’s difficult to maintain a blogging schedule when your writing is going well. Which is a terrific problem to have, as far as problems go.
First things first, I didn’t see Godot like I planned; I went to see Seagull at EgoPo Theatre and loved it. The show closed last week, so this doesn’t help any potential theatergoers, but I wanted to mention how fabulous the set was. And I mean “fabulous” in the classic sense, as in, “The fabulous Roc of Arabia.” As you can see in the pic, it employed a lot of water, which must be a bitch. I’ve never had to deal with such a thing in any of my productions, but I can’t imagine it being anything less than a bitch. And because it’s a bitch, they used it to its full potential. Actors played in it, and floated in it, and crossed it on stepping stones. See that square “island” in the center? For the final act, they lifted it up to the ceiling with ropes. No foolin’. They lifted it up, and put furniture directly in the water, and the actors played the final part of the play in knee-deep water. I can’t say enough how gobsmacked I am. Had to be a total bitch, and I loved it. Can’t wait to see more of EgoPo’s stuff.
For what it’s worth, I am seeing Waiting for Godot at Curio Theatre tomorrow night, if anyone wants to say hi. It’s closing night, so I’m anticipating lots of drinking and high-fiving afterward.
Lots of other random life stuff happened over the past weeks, which I won’t bother getting into, but one of the nicer things was Aurora’s birthday. To celebrate, I thought I’d post this particularly fun photo of her. Enjoy!
