Opening night of Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy is coming up soon which means haircut time!  As for the rest of my appearance, I’ve gained back most of the weight I lost for Some Girl(s) (nothing motivates weight loss like having to be in your underwear for a page and a half), so I’m not as soldierly and man-shaped as I’d like to be.  Oh, well.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Lorenzo. Well, Lorenzo’s head, anyway.

It may be a bit late in the game, but I went to Booksmart and scooped up Machiavelli’s The Prince and Mandragola for research a few days ago.  There’s no overt reference to Machiavelli in The Spanish Tragedy, but Lorenzo’s actions are certainly informed by his medieval political theory.  Maybe I’ll have finished reading them by the time we close!

This is a really solid show.  A committed cast, straightforward, open staging, and lots of violence.  Whee!

Allons-y!
