The production of Fiddler on the Roof starring I-was-in-his-fanclub Scott Wentworth, is excellent!
... but it's nothing compared to the incandescently brilliant Brent Carver production of 2000.
Blythe Spirit was also fun - Seana McKenna made a multi-course banquet of the scenery - but Sara Topham will shout her lines rather than declaim them.
Other than that, it's horribly humid; not that hot, but with the humidity I'm dripping sweat in 15 minutes of being outside, making it so unpleasant that I don't want to sit by the river and read or knit, as I assumed I would (and packed so I could.). And the B&B is half a mile out of town, so one must walk through all that mugginess to get to food or shopping, but then you might as well stay out rather than walk all that way back. Next time I'm up, I'm staying in the town center! What's the point of being near the Festival when it's town where the food and shopping are?
Today I am seriously considering blowing off Waiting for Godot -- I only got it out of a sense of duty that I out to see it sometime, and a much better cast will do it in NYC later this year. My last play either way is Mary Stewart tonight. Tomorrow are festival extras and packing.
ETA: ZOMG, M just checked the weather. 28 degrees C (82ish) AND 95% HUMIDITY!!!!
