I was transported in time tonight
I went to the VCCT show An Evening of Edgar Allen Poe.
I am just going to use first names, because, well, because.
Amy did a great job writing the introduction and segues between the performances. She captured the language of the time, which was a lot different from now. And she gave historical context, which was very informative.
I have always loved The Raven and TC did an excellent job with it.
Now I admit, they are my friends. And I am biased. But they were good.
So were Dog, John and Becky. Their characters showed lots of emotion....sometimes you don't get that off a written page.
I don't think I could have memorized the pieces. I would have gotten "Once upon a midnight dreary " and then been los.t
Granted, Poe isn't for everyone. Jackie, for instance, did not go because Poe's work was a little on the macabre side of life. And yes, macabre gets used several times in the show.,
I only had one problem at the show.
At intermission I bought a pack of Reese's pieces from Camryn, concession gal and grandy. . I spent the.next 5 minutes trying to open them, but the second part started and I still did not get them open!
What the hell????
This morning I could not get the plastic seal off my yogurt and ended up attacking it with a fork and peeling it back. No, I did not eat it with a fork, just mashed the plastic.
My hands just don't work like they used to!
I guess I could say that about a lot of parts of my body....but I won't.
Peace and Love
