Ok – not really real estate on the mid peninsula – but it is testimony to the attractions of living on the mid peninsula.
Stanford Drama Department in conjunction with the New York Public Theatre is producing Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida. My friends told me about the auditions and I gave it a shot. What a pleasure – I’m King Priam in this remarkable Tragi-Comi-History of Shakespeare’s. Rob Melrose, internationally acclaimed director of the Cutting Ball Theatre brings the production to life featuring outstanding performances by a broad assortment of folks connected and not very connected with Stanford. If you can join us I can promise a world class experience (not based on my performance but everyone elses!).
Here is our pure Troilus and his beloved but star crossed Cressida along with uncle Pandarus (think pandering):
And here is the wily Thersites who will call all the shots like they are and keep you in stiches and groans:
The production will be performed at the new theatre space in Roble Gym on Stanford Campus. If you can come to the production nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm May 13, 14 and 15, use this link to get tickets. Saturday is likely to sell out soon. If you cannot make one of those nights, come on down to the dress rehearsal on Wednesday night at 8pm – just mention my name. Don’t be late – there is no late seating.
