Winter in July

Tonight I saw this year’s San Francisco Shakespeare Festival’s (Free Shakespeare in the Park) production in Pleasanton. It was The Winter’s Tale. It was actually very well done. The production was pretty much traditional, and the acting was solid. The second half, which takes place in Bohemia, featured lots of singing and dancing. Ironically, as it supposedly starts in Sicilia in the winter, the night was an unseasonably cool one for July, so it was fitting. I was joined on this occasion by Bob and Blanca who seemed to enjoy it too. This is going to be a play-heavy month, with two more next week, and CoSF in a few weeks.
