For Shakespeare fans - wanna visit DC?

This year's Shakespearean mock trial is on April 30 (tickets on sale March 21) and is titled: Ado, I do, Adieu: Claudio v Hero. "Claudio is appealing the divorce and the award of alimony. Meanwhile, Hero is making a cross-appeal with respect to the denial of the return of her dowry." As per the course, the judges & trial lawyers are the most high-powered they can lay their hands on, which in this town means "including several members of SCOTUS."

Trial website; Legal filing (pdf)

"Hero claims that that Claudio has anger and trust issues that have irretrievably broken their relationship. She testifies that she discovered soon after their marriage that Claudio is short-tempered, rash, gullible, unperceptive, paranoid, and irrational when angered."

...after their marriage? Seriously? After?



Anyway - I would not miss this for the world which is a stage. I know a good brewpub around the corner and a great fish place up the street. Couch space available. Pickup from airport (we're a Southwest hub), train, or bus by arrangement. Who wants to join me/have crash space?

Hee. I figure she was suffering from temporary insanity from the stress of it all, and then after a few days and their first post-marital fight that she went "I did WHAT?"
