neadodsWaiting for Godot was quite the Rorschach test: I heard people murmuring "Magnificent!" Near me. I also watched about 5 people leave during the first half without even the grace to wait to intermission.
I had the grace to wait, but I didn't stick around. Side note: when the Avon is open for a show, the balcony lounge 1) has comfy chairs, 2) has blessed air conditioning! and 3) has a strong wireless signal. My phone is, contrary to expectations, working as a phone and receiving/sending texts, although I'm sure my next bill will be high. But I don't have data roaming and refuse to pay for it when I can get wireless in the B&B and all the theater lobbies.
Robbed of my chance to buy a purse from my favorite leather guy at Art in the Park, the Tourist info told me where in town sold his stuff. Although M and I were both eyeing the only one of a style, I bought it and she got a teal tote that's lovely.
Loving the new purse! It'll be my work bag.
Also went nuts in Olive Your Favorites, the place with the flavored olive oils and vinegars. This meant I had to haul another box almost a mile back home, but they say they don't ship to America, so I must do what I can with the opportunity presented.
I MUST learn to flavor oil and vinegar!
The night show was a STUNNING production of Mary Stewart. Lucy Peacock stepped up to the plate better than I would have given her credit for as a riveting Mary, while Seana McKenna was an incandescent Elizabeth. And for the fangirls, Ger Wynn Davies played Leicester.
There was thunder in the soundtrack, but nature provided much more, often nicely punctuating scenes. In the intermission, I went out to watch the lightening light up the river. Fortunately, it had passed by the time the play let out!
Today, the same actresses read actual letters between Mary Stewart & Elizabeth Tudor. And I want to go to a drop spindle class. But most of the day will be packing - tomorrow I come home, and hopefully will find the one shy cat that has not let any of my assorted caretakers see her!
