Oregon Shakespeare Festival II

We saw William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, but really about Everything last night in the Elizabethan outdoor theatre. Why we thought this was a good idea in October in the mountains of southern Oregon I'm not really at liberty to say. We will not do this again.



The play was the usual well-done OSF production with David Kelly, Robyn Rodriguez and Sarah Rutan turning in superb jobs. But really the thing that makes these OSF things so good is that all, I mean all the players are good, and all the stagecraft and all the costumes are just perfect. Tony DeBruno was brilliant in reminding us all that "he was, indeed, an ass."



I'm not sure what this street sign means here. Probably something to do with pairing of cities in different countries, i.e. some reason for the local city eminentos to visit Guanajuato and vice versa and act important. That is a facsimile of the first printing of this marvelous play on the right.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
