Folger Theatre Julius Caesar

I got the tickets quite some time ago. We have out of town guests and it seemed like a good idea to go to a play. Since it is right in the neighborhood, we walked over to the Folger Theatre for a two o'clock matinee of Julius Caesar. We used to have season tickets to the Milwaukee Rep for many years. It gave us something to do on many wintry Sunday afternoons. These days we rarely go to the theatre or movies. I'm not sure why exactly- it just happened. I know our guests liked the production and that is all that matters. As for me? It was interesting. 

Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library

We pass by it all the time. Last year we actually went inside to take a look around while on an afternoon walk. The Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library is just a few blocks from where we live, right across from the Library of Congress Jefferson Building and next to the Adams Building. We have not been to a play in a really long time. We used to have season tickets for the Milwaukee Rep for many years running. It was a nice diversion during the brutal winter months. Since we will be having visitors from Milwaukee next month we thought it might be interesting to give it a go. It felt weird ordering tickets on line and then receiving the hard copies in the mail a week later. I can't say that I am much of a Shakespeare, although I do like most everything else English - especially all the PBS Masterpiece classic and mystery shows. So I am hoping this will work out okay and our guests won't be too bored. I'm going to have to read up on Julius Caesar before we go, or I know I will be terribly lost. I have a feeling I would much prefer watching Christopher Walken play a tap dancing Captain Hook in Peter Pan. But that's on TV and in the comfort of my couch - but that doesn't count.
