It was phenomenal -- so much better than expected. I really like the idea of doing it with masks, because you're right -- they are pretty much interchangeable. I really wanted to teach the play after that, but then, I remember when I read it that I didn't really like it that much and didn't get the humor. I think it takes a great production for someone to really appreciate this play. Glad you enjoyed it!Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.com
