More theatre!

Let's see... we saw the Wooster Group's Hamlet at The Public Theater last week and it was three hours long. It was a stunning work of skill and madness, but it plateaued about 30 minutes in and therefore we spent another 2 1/2 hours wondering if it was going to go anywhere rlse. It didn't. Like I said, amazing skill was displayed. And then my eyes closed a little bit.

Much more exciting was going to the opening night of Black Watch at Saint Anne's Warehouse. I encourage you to read the review of the show, as it paints a nice picture of what we actually saw. What it doesn't tell you is that the theatre warms to about 85 degrees during the performance. Ugh... Afterwards there were festivities and hors devours (bacon wrapped figs, anyone?) and a few celebrity sightings: Ross from Fraiser and Bebe Neuwirth, who has the most pale white skin that I have seen. (Seemed there was a Cheers theme in the celeb attendance.)

So there you have it. Your weekly theatre post.
