Dinner theatre watching the Korean American love triangle play “Persimmon Nights.” Good easy-to-follow story, classy jazz standards, family-style 5-course meal, & a hot-as-hell room — attending Persimmon Nights at Cafe Nordo.
Watched Patience, or Bunthorne’s Bride unaware that it was an 1800s opera instead of a musical. I imagine Spamalot would have been like this if produced more than a century ago. Terribly corny! — attending Patience, Bunthorne’s Bride at Seattle Repertory Theatre.
Attended Antony and Cleopatra unaware that it was a staged reading/talkback of a William Shakespeare play (Ugh, flashback to English lit). I’ve gotta read the synopsis before going to these things. Interestingly, they attempted translating the verse to more modern English. — attending The Other Season: Antony and Cleopatra at Seattle Repertory Theatre.
Watched the Sweet Land Musical. Probably my last time at Taproot Theatre. Their season selections (though performed well) are always so slow, sentimental, and old-timey. — attending Sweet Land, the Musical at Taproot Theatre.
Watched the play How I Learned to Drive. Amazing how the playwright/actors created a disarming pedophile that evoked both disgust & sympathy. Complex, ambiguous, and unconventional. I so wish there was a talkback!
