King Lear

Lora and I went to the Folger Theater on East Capitol last night to see King Lear. An NCC actor who landed a part in the play gave us tickets. Great performance. I'm not a huge Shakespeare buff :) But it was really cool. You just feel more cultured sitting there :)

What's so funny is that they are speaking English, but I feel like I understood about a third of what they said. You really have to concentrate! I did enjoy using as many Old English words as I possibly could the rest of the night--Whitherto, Hitherto, Hark, Lo, Lo and Behold, My Lady. That's about all I've got.

It is so easy for couples, dating or married, to get in a rut. A little Shakespeare was a fun change of pace.
