King Lear is coming!

Good morning...

I hope you had a great weekend despite the rain on Saturday. I had the good fortune of seeing "Twelfth Night" at Notre Dame on Saturday and the performance was FANTASTIC! I've been attending the Shakespeare performances at Notre Dame for a few years now and I would have to say this is the best one they have done. Very entertaining!

And there's more Shakespeare excitement to come! From September 9-11, actors from The London Stage will be performing "King Lear," which just happens to be on our AP reading list. I was thinking about attending the Thursday, September 10 performance and wanted to put feelers out to see who would be interested in attending. Click on the title "King Lear is coming" at the top of this post to be directed to the link for the play.

Student tickets are $12 and the performance is 2 hours and 30 minutes and begins at 7:30 PM. It would be a little late for a school night, so please check with your parents first. We'd get back to Bridgman a bit after 11 PM.

The timing of this is really perfect! It isn't often a live Shakespeare performance links up with a play being covered in a course, but we are in luck! Please let me know ASAP if you are in and I will call to get the tickets ordered. I'd like to call this week or early next week to be sure we can get good seats, so let me know.

I hope your reading continues to go well - don't forget you need to finish the second book by September 8, when we head back to school. Enjoy these last two precious weeks of summer and let me know if you are interested in attending the Thursday, September 10 performance of "King Lear"
