The Shakespeare Theatre Company does an annual program called the Free For All where they give away every ticket to a production to the community, and this year was Twelth Night. You login online during the day and enter your name in a daily drawing and you are notified later that afternoon. I am not sure really how many people sign up or what the odds are but I got tickets for Saturday night on my first attempt.
Sam was supoer busy at work so she could not join me. And boy what a show she missed. This was by far the best Shakespearean piece I have seen. The actors were phenomenal, really using every aspect they could, speech, tone, facial expression, gesture, to convey their lines and making a 500 year old language fresh and relevant. The direction was also spot on, for instance, using rose petals falling to signal a character falling in love. Standing ovation. Wow.
