thebratqueenStitch and bitch tonight was outdoors as we had a picnic and watched a free performance of Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. We all brought a little something to eat and I'd say the highlights of the meal were my honey molassess chicken drumsicks and another girl's brownies. There were also grapes and strawberries and sparkling cider and cole slaw and potato salad. All in all good grub. Plus I got to use my cute little picnic basket!
We ate, then knitted, and watched the show while knitting and eating some more. Once it got dark the bugs came out liek woah but fortunately that was after intermission so there wasn't too much longer to hang in there.
The performance was really enjoyable. There was a pretty good crowd, especially for a Tuesday, and folks seemed to like the show. Possibly the best part was when Aemelia, an abbess, said "Whoever bound him, I will loose his bonds / And gain a husband by his liberty." at which point those members of the audience not familiar with the play actually gasped as one and said "What?" and then some guy sitting not too far from me whispered to his friend "Dude, Shakespeare is awesome."
There were also a lot of kids in the audience - as far as I could tell it was part of a school trip - and not only were they well behaved but during intermission they all took turns rolling down a hill. Because if there are hills and you are a kid you must roll down them. It's just how it goes.
And then the play was over, we packed up and went home, and I grabbed a shower and caught up on my flist, and soon I shall toddle off to bed. Yay!
