June 6, 2019



75 years ago today.



Queens distribution for Much Ado About Nothing. Rain was forecast but never came.



John's Pizza was nearby. A classic, old-school slice.



Coriolanus is next. Never read it or saw it, looking forward to it.



A real nice production. Danielle Brooks and Grantham Coleman make a fine pairing in their witty sparring as Beatrice and Benedick. Chuck Cooper was superb as Leonato.

Two observations: 1) Play starts and ends with Marvin Gaye's "What's going on";2) the help in this Atlanta mansion act and look like the help in Get Out. Except when dancing, and the dance sequences are quite good.
