This might be my favourite picture from this past weekend’s performance – Jaques and Orlando squaring off for a little battle of words as Rosalind (dressed as Ganymede, can’t you tell she’s a guy?!) looks on from behind a tree.
Yes, a tree. That’s one of the best things about Barrie – she sees “trees” in the script and she puts ladies holding flowery parasols on stage. Also, she never misses a single knob joke in that old pervert Shakespeare’s clever dialogue. And who doesn’t love a good knob joke?
Be sure to check out their website for info on this upcoming weekend’s shows and say hi to me if you’re there – I’ll be the one laughing at the knob jokes.

I love it. I wish I could teleport to New York. With Jordi, who would also make a nifty tree.
I am so sorry to have missed this, it looks terrific. Who is the actor playing Jaques? He is familiar for some reason.
Do you have power? Christopher’s was restored on Friday morning at around 4:00, but he told me today that there are still people in Astoria without it.
He lives just down the street from a restaurant called The Avenue. Is this near?
Gosh, what a lot of questions. I am glad to read that Stuart enjoyed himself. I’m also laughing at the umbrellas — I’ll send a picture from our production a couple of years ago so you can see why.
Best,
Si
