My sister & I drove to Ashland from Lincoln where we saw 5 shows in 3 days:
Beauty & the Beast
I'd never seen it before-- live or film --so finally the whole beastiality thing makes sense to me. 😉Lively, imaginative, and entertaining.
Shakespeare in Love
Adaptated from the film. Such a good idea to do that at this festival cuz the audience got all the allusions to Shakespeare. I especially liked this one.
Merry Wives of Windsor
A clever version complete with a sound track of 80 s music! Very entertaining!
UniSon
Inspired by the poetry of August Wilson... It's a world premiere by 3 OSF company members. Unusual, creative & thought- provoking. I'd like to read it or the source material to get more out of it. I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did.
The Odyssey.
Well, as you might expect: Long!! This one seemed to be the most traditionally staged.
I'd appreciated the shows with modern or unusual spins
As always, the actors, effects & staging were top notch!
We met up with cousin Jan & her daughter, Megan. This is the second year we have gone at the same time, though the three of them go annually.
The food, hotel ( Bard's Inn)and company were all terrific!
