Earlier this year, my friend (and college roommate) Teri suggested that we were the World's Worst English Majors since we had never been to the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City. I conceded that she was probably right - and we decided to visit the Shakespeare Festival this summer to correct this horrible wrong.We drove to Cedar City on Friday afternoon and watched "Romeo & Juliet" that night. I loved the outdoor theater (which is a replica of The Globe) and the acting and staging were amazing. I may have cried a little at the end of the play.
The next afternoon, we saw a matinee performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." So funny! We had such a good time at the festival and I'm thinking this may become an annual tradition. It was fun to embrace my inner "English major nerd" and spend a weekend talking about books and Shakespeare and why junior high teachers who insist on having their students diagram sentences should be drug out into the street and shot. (Diagram that sentence, I dare you!)
I laughed, I cried... Thanks Teri for a great adventure!
