Shakespeare and Potter

Because of Commonwealth Shakespeare's very abridged season this year (not their fault; the city forced it), I'm not going to be organizing my traditional big Shakespeare picnic where I go down very early to secure front and center blanket space. The only night I can go is July 29, and I will probably be toast from the T@F run ending the night before. So if I do manage to go, I'll just be sneaking down with any stragglers I can find and squeezing into the crowd.

What I do want to do is see The Publick Theatre's Romeo and Juliet, which runs from July 26 through mid-September. Tickets are $32, but it's well worth it for spending the evening in their beautiful outdoor theatre. I've missed them for the last few seasons and I'd love to see what they do with R&J.

Last night I didn't have any plans, so on the spur of the moment I went after work to see Order of The Phoenix...( not too spoilery )
