Hiatus…
August 4th, 2008
It has been a week since we closed the shows and it’s a somewhat strange experience. No rehearsals? No small, last minute crises to handle?
I have been spending some of my creative time looking at plays for the future. Samuel French has a great database of its plays that break down by cast size and I’ve scanned through and discovered about twenty that are definitely worthy of consideration.
The criteria for selection, leaving the Shakespeare offering aside, of a companion piece breaks down to something that will work outdoors, that has the right “feel” for our audience, that has the quality we need to build on our success of this year and, as David Stenstrohm said, “Uses the horses you have.”
We are looking at Henry IV i, Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado to choose from for our classic selection for the Mountain Shakepsere Festival 2009 but what is the right companion piece? Suggestions?
