So tonight with my new roommate who I am getting along famously with Sharon Hagel invited me to go to the Linfield College theater to watch Lot O' Shakespeare. It was free and I figured why not try it out. I don't remember liking or disliking plays in the past. Anyways this ended up being a one man show. How can Shakespeare possibly be done by one man you say, well I'll tell you. Timothy Mooney was the gentleman name and he played different acts from several different plays written by Shakespeare. He had memorized over 70 different sections of the play and then would act them out at random. Literally it was random he used bingo balls to find out which story he then would act out, while we in the crowd hope that he would call out the correct letter and number so that we could win a prize playing instead of 'bingo' 'iago'. I'm guessing Iago is a character in one of these plays but as I mentioned before I went in there with nothing.
It really was so fascinating. He really did a fabulous job and because the crowd was limited in size it was intriguing to watch his facial expressions. Sharon and I hooked up with second row seats so it was pretty intense. I really was very impressed and enjoyed myself almost the entire time. :) Would I go again!? Absolutely and possibly might even pay if I needed to next time.
