Today I got to see another Shakespeare play here in DC, this time at the Folger Theater. This was a last minute decision, as today was the last day of the run of Much Ado About Nothing. I had thought about getting season tickets earlier, but dropped the ball. When I went online to get tickets, the only thing I could get was at the back, but I thought I’d go for it anyway. It turned out the seats were great, even at the back row, which was only about 20 feet from the stage.
The play was in a small Elizabethan style theater which is part of the Folger Shakespeare Library. It is a beautiful little theater. It was an interesting production, thematically in a Jamaican setting. While none of the acting really blew me away, the production was quite enjoyable. I will definitely try and see more plays in this theater.
