This morning I woke with a horrible cold. I went to the walgreens and the pharmacist recommended sambucol a homeopathic cold relief made with black elderberry. Jeanne have you ever heard of this? It is supposed to help with sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat amongst other things so I am giving it arty. I also picked up a zincam. nasal spray

I definitely have to agree, Ginny , Twelfth Night with mark rylance as Olivia and Stephen fry as her head servant (the characters no space rides me at the moment ) was probably the best live production of Shakespeare I have ever seen, his Richard III was a close second. The acting was amazing. Despite the fact that all the actors dressed on stage and you clearly saw that it was a all male cast within moments of the play beginning you were totally invested I the characters and saw all the female character s as women. I loved the fact that it was true to the material no motorcycles or modern dress or language. The stage was lit with what seemed hundreds of candles and the set design was merely a table and a couple of benches which the actors moved as needed. I was also lucky enough to have an onstage seat fir both shows

It really was thrilling experience (I saw twelfth night at the matinee and Richard III at the evening performance, same cast same set different show )

Tod continued. Favorite video versions include. The zefferielli ( was I close?) 1968 version of Romeo & Juliet , Kenneth branagh's much ado about nothing, and the David tenant version of hamlet. Mostly because of Patrick Stewarts portrayal of both the uncle king and the dead father king

TOD:

When I was a kid, we would go see the local Shakespeare in the Park productions largely because they were free and I hounded my parents into taking me. When I got my driver's license, I would sometimes go and see a production five or six times over its two-week run. One of the best was Merry Wives of Windsor. On the final night, the leading lady got sick and the director filled in, holding her script behind a fan. She was fantastic, hardly needed the script, though I'm sure having it there was a comfort, and the rest of the cast rallied to give what will always be my favorite evening of Shakespeare.

As for the movies, I'm partial to the "Twelfth Night" with Helena Bonham Carter. And I loved the televised scenes from "Taming of the Shrew" with Raul Julia and Meryl Streep.

I love the library story DR GINNY.

I tell new people at the Playhouse that I fought off the Indians while Linda Gjesvold (another board member who joined in the 70's) laid the cornerstone of the barn.

Ginny · « **Reply #41 on:** January 29, 2015, 07:28:10 AM »

LOL, DR JRand! I'm now participating in a book group that meets at the library on campus and the current director asked me to help him ID people in scrapbook photos. I think I was working there before he was born!

LOL DR GINNY..... I hear you.....when somebody in a meeting asks a question about history of the place, everyone looks at me....

Ginny · « **Reply #45 on:** January 29, 2015, 08:10:38 AM »

But my historical memory of the local Miami campus stops about 30 years ago, DR JRand - I left there when Rob was born!

What the heck ?! Dang iPod makes even my normal posting look good. I had to go back to try and figure out what I was saying. It was supposed to say "the character's name eludes me at the moment "

No space rides me?!

Thank you for the vibes. I am greatly annoyed that the cold should rar it's ugly head while we are in sunny Florida ... it ain't right ,I tell ya

Speaking of space rides when we were at the astronaut hall of fame they had a G force ride that was closed but while I was standing near it. One of the staff was teaching a new staff member how to run it. She saw me watching and asked if vixdad and I would like a ride so we said yes. It was greT fun

They also had a simulator ride that they opened for us it was an enclosed ride and vixdad thought it might double as a tunnel of love... When we got out the staff member said dryly we were all watching you. It turns out there was a hidden camera broadcasting riders reactions to the outside screen
