Tonight I went to see Julius Caesar at the
Folger Shakespeare Library downtown. BTW, the Capitol dome is currently under scaffolding and it looks so cool at night, as though it's under its own bell jar. Had I taken my good camera, I'd have snapped a pic.

The play was wonderful. I had two favorite moments (aside from Antony's funeral oration, of course). The first was when the conspirators were portrayed in a hellscape, enrobed as wraiths and hissing and moaning. It was like a dozen
Nazgul on stage. Creepy!

The second was when the little old man next to me started audibly snoring and his wife, a stylishly coiffed, fur-coat-wearing, little old lady hissed slowly and deliberately at him: "
Wake.
Up."

Since Julia has studied Julius Caesar, I read her your commentary. When it came to the old man snoring it evoked a long belly laugh from your niece.
Oh, I love her belly laugh! Can't wait to get big hugs Tuesday night.
