Tonight I saw another wonderful play at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Julius Caesar. It was performed outdoors in the Mary Rippon theatre and it was done in a completely classic setting. It was wonderfully acted and very powerful. I was a little worried about not having enough warm clothes as the afternoon was unseasonably cool and it was rainy. Fortunately by the time the play came on it had cleared up and was pleasant. My seat was front row center, which was a little intense, but you could see some fine details in some of the acting. They even came down off the stage and performed into the audience. A very enjoyable production.
An interesting side note, I ran into Charlie McMillan who was in the audience with his wife. It was the first time he’d come to the festival. Apparently he’s friends with the actor who played Julius Caesar, Robert Sicular, through his musical performance activities in the Bay Area.
