Free Shakespeare in the park

The lovely and knows-her-lines Mrs. Borepatch is in Hamlet, at Barrington Hall in downtown Roswell, GA.  It's Friday and Saturday evenings starting tomorrow (21 September) and going through October 6.  Curtain is a 8:00 PM.  There's also a Sunday matinee on the 30th at 4:00 PM.

It's quite an interesting production.  The Missus is playing Polonius, the long winded and not as smart as he thinks King's counsellor.  Usually this is played by a man, but the Missus is modeling the character on Hillary Clinton, and it works spectacularly well.  The Hamlet and Ophelia characters are a bit goth and angsty, but it works much better than you'd think.  The actor playing Hamlet is particularly good.

Wolfgang has been providing perimeter security at rehearsals.

And it's free (well, $5 suggested donation), and outdoors in the park.  And afterwards you can hit one of the spots on Canton street for an apres show cocktail.

Barrington Hall is at the intersection of Marietta Highway and Roswell Road, so it's impossible to miss:

And because it's Hamlet, I have to post Hamlet's Facebook Page once again.
