Theater: The Tempest (Mignoette Day, 14th of Grape Harvest, Year 228)
When to see Synetic Theater's production of The Tempest, which was amazing as usual. However, I am very glad I didn't sit in the splash zone, as I was two rows away and still got splattered a bit. I'm also glad that they did this production in October -- last time they did The Tempest, they did it in February, and getting wet then is a recipe for hypothermia.
For those of you that don't know, Synetic floods the stage with 2 inches of water for their production of the Tempest, and then takes full advantage of it for lots of interesting effects, including a piano that spouts water from the keyboard. This season's production also cast Prospero and his brother with women, so we had Prospera and Antonia, dancing in full-length dresses on a flooded stage.
I'm probably going to buy a subscription to the rest of the season. I actually do want to see the entire slate this time, and that will save me some amount of money.
