Hello everyone,
Last evening, I attended Theatre Morgan's production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
It was excellent. I especially appreciated the delivery of dialogue by
our Morgan thespians which sounded much more contemporary and uniquely
intelligible in presentation than any other Shakespearean production
that I could remember. With the 1920's theme to the costumes and the
very colorful set with an almost psychedelic painted stage, there was a
visual feast for the eyes. I especially liked the period jazz music
diced into the production to give a reprise from the Old English prose.
To see our students spewing out Shakespeare is something to behold.
Shirley Basfield-Dunlap has done a masterful job in directing our
students in this production. If you get a chance, please stop by to see
the remaining performances next weekend on Friday, February 28, at 7:30
p.m., Saturday, March 1, 2:00 & & 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March
2, at 3:00 pm. See photos attached from the production. Hope to see you
there.
Eric Conway
