Euadzomena Bacchae!

That figures. :-P

I go poking around the internet the day after we open and find some really awesome resources that would have made me feel a hell of a lot less clueless in the last month.

Ah well.

Last night went very well, my God it's an amazing play, and an amazing translation. There is so much to work with. The performances last night were incredible too, I feel very privileged to be in this production, both onstage and behind the scenes.

It's been a hell of a ride, it's not over yet, but the last little bit of the ride should be pure fun.

Oh, and if by chance you've missed what I'm talking about:

I really really really wish I could be there for that.

Plus, Summer's rolling in and I'm melting in the Summer Heat... *sigh*

I second that (not the summer thing, I'm in the silly hemisphere), I really wish I was there. Good luck with the rest of the season guys!

Yay! Bacchae! Yay!

I'm coming on Friday night, and am dragging father dear and Monica (Rebecca's mum, remember her?) along with me (alas, Chris couldn't make it and lazy Richard couldn't be persuaded... his loss).

Yay! Bacchae!
