Tonight I saw the 3rd play in this year’s CalShakes season, Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan. It was a very cool night at the Bruns, but this was a very good play. I had never seen it before. The acting, in a 19th turn-of-the-century English story, was as usual good. James Carpenter was as awesome as I have seen him playing a more dopey character than usual. Some of the other CalShakes standards put in solid side roles, like L. Peter Calendar, and Danny Scheie, who often plays over-the-top characters hilariously played two different older women characters.
We managed to have a full group this time. In addition to the Winters, Ben and Kyoko and John Brooks joined us. Everyone had a nice evening, and we didn’t freeze too much.
