If more high school English classes would take a field trip to see an actual production of a Shakespeare play after reading it, we would undoubtedly have more Shakespeare fans today. The Shakespeare Festival’s actors brought the play to life and the characters and set were spectacular. My son was ecstatic when we had to wait to claim our seats because in them were actors practicing sword fighting. The green show was as entertaining as ever, but there is a lesson to be learned. A couple walked in late holding three boxes of pizzas and then mistakenly tried to stop Tom from taking a look inside the pizza box. Tom, of course, gained possession of the box and then graciously said he would be kind and not eat an entire piece. He then took a single bite out of three of the pieces and put them back in the box! The patrons didn’t look thrilled. When the Green Show guys ask for your food or drink - give it up graciously, or you probably won’t like what you get back!

Our favorite actors were back for last night’s performance; Sara Brunley’s portrayal as one of the “weird sisters” was unique and striking; Laura Perrotta did a fantastic job as Lady Macbeth, and Dougfred Miller played a superb Macbeth: Beware the pitfalls of a leader who takes his throne by questionable means!
