Thank you to all our wonderful actors and generous audience who came to our Cue Script Experiment in the pub on Tuesday. It was a most uplifting and excellent event. We performed four scenes: one each from "Romeo and Juliet," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Antony and Cleopatra," and "The Merchant of Venice." After a discussion with our actors about the whole cue script performance process, we invited some members of our audience to perform a scene from "Twelfth Night" with hilarious results. With many thanks also to The Mad Hatter for hosting our merry band of loons. We will be back with another Cue Script experiment soon!
