This afternoon we went to a performance of Twelfth Night by BYU's Young Company. It was a western themed show, complete with singing cowboys, stick horses, a trombone playing rodeo clown, and a yellow chaps wearing Malvolio. It was so well done, the actors had us all in stitches. I love these productions aimed at children, for while the sets are minimal and the casts are small, they are always fast paced and fun and make Shakespeare accessible. As we were walking out, Blythe said, "Mom, I really like Shakespeare." Words to warm this mother's heart.
