After going last weekend to Shakespeare on the Common (and getting rained out) teachers Angela, Leah, and myself finally saw the play this Friday (clear skies thankfully). It was much fun ('As You Like It')--Shakespeare is a joyfully vulgar and raunchy kind of guy (he likes the lowbrow humor--and lots of references to sex) and there are a surprising number of musical interludes throughout the performance (which after a couple of glasses of wine, we happily joined in on). Furthermore, we had surprisingly good seats (the trick is to be bold--you simply have to insert yourself on a nice patch of grass up front and ignore the deadly stares that greet you from those who came hours earlier to stake out a spot).
