....weekend to one and all! Seriously difficult to believe it's already July 2nd (retro rabbit rabbit). What a beautiful day! It's in the 60s right now and only going up to the mid 70s -- perfect weather in my book.
Saw a very interesting production of The Seagull last night. The jury is really out with me and Chekhov. I sometimes wonder if we revere him because we're supposed to or if he's a really good playwright. Though I've read the play quite a few times, I've never seen it, so it was cool to see it done, though in my estimation, it could use a good trimming. I'm just going to say it: I'm not a fan. I guess I just don't really get it. He's very repetitive and his characters get on my last nerve: go to Moscow already! Tell him you love him already! Sell the cherry orchard already! Make a decision, for crying out loud! It's so irritating! And I fail to see the humor of these "comedies" when many of them end with a gunshot....maybe I'm just obtuse. I keep trying to love him, kind of like I'm supposed to love Citizen Kane...but I don't love that, either. Heresy, I know. But really! A sled? After all that hullabaloo? Give me a break!
Have a fab fourth!
