A Night at the Theatre!

I worked this morning, then went to the doctors for some blood work. Jess had brought us some steak tips from Market Basket because of course, no one in Maryland knows what those are!! We've been here for so many years, and ... dying without them. Bless them for freezing them and driving them down in the cooler. 

Meg Dog from up the street came to visit and we had a raucous romp with three dogs for five minutes. Then they were beat. It was so hot, well over 90. A breeze was helping though, so we had a nice visit and some wine.  I grilled a pack of steak tips so we could eat before leaving for the show. 

Jess wanted to see the Folger Shakespeare Company performance of Twelfth Night, and it's been a while since I've seen some Shakespeare. Last time was The Tempest and it was a great steampunk interpretation with real magic acts designed by Teller of Penn & Teller. 

We took the metro into town and walked from Union Station. Jess said they thought there was a closer Metro station but it's on a different line and the amount of time we'd spend changing trains was dumb. So it was a good fast walk (we were almost late). 

This interpretation bordered on a bit more S&M and they leaned super hard into the Trans themes with Viola dressing as a man and becoming Cesario, and the concepts of moving in and out of different worlds from gender to poor/wealthy folks. 

There was original music, cover songs woven in, and kind of a Prince or Adam Ant vibe (Sebastian had the Prince icon on his T-shirt) Feste the Fool was fantastic. Malvolio reminded me a little of a much taller Tom Holland in a way. Duke Orsino is played by a woman and they were spectacular.  

And they had fantastic "twins" in the actors of Viola and Sebastian. They had a real unique closeness in appearance, which makes the play make so much more sense. 

While we were watching the play phones in the audience went off with an emergency alert. Flash flood warnings! My phone was all the way silenced, but I saw the screen turn on in my purse. 

When the play finished, we headed out and it was obvious that it rained, but it was over. Walk back to Union so another good walk, but a little shorter somehow, and not as fast. 

Back home, dehydrated, wiped out, blisters on my feet from wearing shoes I had not broken in and walking 2 miles in them. It's bed time. Digits below and more shenanigans tomorrow!
