Kent and I had a wonderful date tonight. We went to see Much Ado About Nothing by Actors From the London Stage, a troupe of five actors obviously from England. The five of them, actors currently working on the stage and in film in London, acted all the parts in a small space on the stage, with minimal props and costumes. It was fast paced, very funny, and incredibly engaging. To change character, an actor might put on a hat or a vest of a pick up a prop, and sometimes they would hold the prop and go back and forth from one character to another within the same scene. They were brilliant! Even though we have seen with play produced multiple times, and all very well, their approach was so innovative and their energy so high, it was an absolute delight. I wish BYU would make it an annual thing to bring them here.
