Cultural events this past weekend. Saturday, I managed to drag Daisy to the Shakespeare Festival at Tulane's production of Richard III. It was very well done. The play was presented in modern dress with parts of certain speeches presented as "press conferences" on big TV screens in the theater. Hmm I wonder if they were trying to make some kind of a point with this one. Let's see Richard III: Usurping ruler engages in various murderous intrigues until the country is finally drawn back into war. That doesn't sound very familiar at all. Daisy's comment: "There sure were a lot of characters in that play."
Sunday night I endured Nurse Mama's company in order that we might see Fahrenheit 911. At the very least, it should win an oscar for best use of the themesong from The Greatest American Hero. Also, we caught the 10:00PM screening on a Sunday night and had to wait in a huge huge huge line. I hope all these people vote.
Special Note Included So That I Don't Get Clobbered by People: Daisy is actually a very intelligent extremely well read librarian who just happened to not follow the play very well. Likewise the Nurse is also a very intelligent and vibrant person and I enjoy her company very much. When she behaves. Which is most of the time. Really it is.
Special Note Included Just for the Hell of it: Blogger spell check suggests "Tallness" in place of "Tulane." Rudolph went to Tulane and she is 5'10"
