Tonight I saw the second play of the Livermore Shakespeare Festival, a new adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac. This was a terrific production. The acting was very good, and it was a funny but ultimately sad and moving story. Originally I thought this was the first time I’d seen this as a play, but I previously saw a version of the Cyrano story when I was in DC.
It was a pleasant night at the vineyard, not too cold, but not warm. I joined Bob, Blanca, and their friend Jim. I enjoyed it very much, although I don’t think Blanca did, and Bob even won a bottle of wine in the raffle. This season quickly shot past as I saw both of their plays within two weeks, but they were both very enjoyable evenings out.
