Henry V...
Went tonight with
commodorified and
fairestcat to the Company of Fools production of Henry Vheld in Glebe's Central Park - a couple of blocks from my place.
As usual, I loved it. Wonderful points about this production, besides the usual "not taking it seriously, but making it good" aspects that are their stock in trade:
- Fake yellow tennis balls as ammunition, thrown by the audience at the French
- Great diction from the girl playing the King. Good costume, too.
- Good use of fuzzy puppets - especially when the boys with the baggage are kills and we get dismembered fuzzy puppet parts strewn onto the stage
- Lovely plastic armour on the Dauphin, and good hats
Afterwards we went to Bridgehead (where I had an iced cappuccino, very nice) and then to my place, where we talked about Lord Vorpatril's Alliance and comics, and played Words with Friends in tandem. Enjoyed it muchly.
