halloween treats with shakes and masquers!


Oh, my! This pre-Halloween weekend is FILLED with treats!

If the spirit moves you toward ghostly humor, then the Armstrong Masquers are just the ticket with "Blithe Spirit"! It features a bicycle-riding medium and a man caught between two women: his dead first wife and live second wife. Delicious!


But if you prefer a ghastly tale of horror, Savannah Shakes will rock your world with "Titus Andronicus"! A bloody precursor to "Hamlet", though with a comparable death count, this Hatfields-versus-McCoys modernized version is heavy on the action and light on props and set. It's the language, after all, that is the star of any Shakespeare production!
I also love that this was down as an homage to the world of grindhouse films. How very fitting that it be performed in an actual cinema in midtown!

Me?
With my eclectic tastes, I've already partaken of both -
the latter last Sunday and the former just last night.
BWAH HA HA!
