Summer of 2008.
2008 so far has been fabulous. Family time came to an end 2 weeks ago, with my folks heading back home after a long and much deserved sojourn. Aside from the wonderful family time I've had over the last few months, I believe that my wheels of life, long rusted have been rejuvenated. I am ready..to live again. I'd say that taking some time out and going shopping with your mommy or simply relaxing in your front porch and talking to your da over a lemonade/beer about the dwindling state of the world's economies can do you wonders...
So, after one week of wallowing in self-pity and another week of crazy work madness, I decided to take matters in hand. I cleaned the kitchen, I went for a walk and I even started cooking....("Sapna's subconscious: That's a true beginning I must say :P").
Was out in the Mary Rippon outdoor theatre last Saturday watching one of my favourite Shakespearen plays - Macbeth. A handful of Shakespeare's plays are debuted every summer at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival in Boulder, CO. My take on the production:
The actor who portrayed the King was stupendous and so were Macduff and Malcolm. Lady Macbeth was a disaster in waiting. I can't still understand why they turned a regal yet vicious and cunning queen into a screeching banshee. She screamed so much that at one point of time, I began to wonder if she was a queen or a peasant. Either way, that portion of the production needs serious re-work. The witches and the fog effects were dramatic enough to carry the plot further. A beautiful warm and breezy day added a touch of genius to Macbeth's soliloquy. Nothing like nature to assist a good production I must say!
I'm looking forward to another play or two before the festival closes for this summer, in addition to one or two serious hikes (else, I'll rust away to glory) Hopefully, things work out...
I'm leaving this post with some pictures I've taken this spring at Pearl St. that have captured and imprinted themselves in my mind's eye.
