Another enjoyable day on my Colorado vacation. I went down to south Denver and had lunch with Kate and the kids. It was nice to see her again. She seems to be doing well despite some work drama and various challenges of life. I got to see her new home, which is really nice with an amazing view.
I made my way back up to Boulder for the second play in two days at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. This was a modern play called Equivocation. It basically followed a Shakespeare-like character as he is being compelled to write a play about the gunpowder conspiracy to be used as propaganda by King James. It dealt interestingly with the life of the theater, as well as threading through a few of Shakespeare’s plays. It was a small cast of half a dozen actors who morphed between roles in plays and various current characters. The acting was top notch. It was very well done. The set was structurally the same as Cymbeline but all the forest furnishings were gone. It was an interesting examination of truth, faith, politics, theater, and family. Another great night of theater.
