Got home in time to say Stratford's version of GUYS AND DOLLS was amazing. What a great musical it is to-not a bad song in it. I saw the Nathan Lane version in the nineties on Broadway and since the staging has become more sophisticated in those years, this was even more thrilling. Such a huge cast.
We also saw THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, which was about as good as that play can be. So many of the Stratford actors have been in plays for thirty or more years there so you watch them age from playing Juliet to the elderly women in EARNEST. Lots of good food too. So nice to spend time with Kevin especially. He has to decide on a major by December and still hasn't decided. Between plays we played a game called SPLENDOR which was really difficult to understand. Board games have gotten more difficult since even my kids' times.
Great weather on the whole. Reading a Japanese novel that takes place on a subway line. I haven't unpacked yet so I can't tell you the title. Perhaps Tracy knows. I am betting she recommended it.
What about you?
