I had another enjoyable evening of Shakespeare at the Folger Theatre with The Comedy of Errors. It was fun and fast and it started with an unusual device of the purported director of the Worcestershire Mask and Wig Society showing a short film about putting together this play, that was amusing. The last time I saw this play in California, they used large puppets along with the actors; this time in the opening scene of the father describing the back story, he used little finger puppets of all the twins. It was an enjoyable and cleverly staged play and as I’ve come to expect, the acting was excellent.
The enjoyment of the evening was enhanced by the companionship of my friend Kathy. We had dinner at Sonoma, then took a nice walk back home past the Capitol lit up beautifully in the night (a walk made only a little less fun due to the fact that it was raining).
