Were you here, four years ago, when Michelle came home for school? If you were, then you might have been reading one of our homeschool blogs and realize that Michelle likes Shakespeare. You might also realize that once a year TW, Michelle and I go to see a performance of one of Shakespeare’s plays.
1.Midsummer Night’s Dream
2. Hamlet
3. Romeo & Juliet
4. Julius Caesar
That’s right, we attended our yearly Shakespeare event on Tuesday by attending the Aquila Theatre performance at the Phillips Center (one of the ten good things about living in this town.)
I like Julius Caesar. It’s one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. I don’t think either Michelle or TW would consider this one of their top five plays – but since the yearly Shakespeare is a tradition, they went along.
I will admit that I had considerable difficulty with the WW1 costuming. I liked Cassius as a woman. Marc Antony was excellent. I just plain like Julius Caesar.
I wonder what sort of Shakespeare production we will see next year. The yearly Shakespeare is a tradition that should be maintained long after Michelle has left high school and homeschool behind.
