The Empress

So I just went and saw "The Empress," a play produced by a student here at Hamp that was someone's Division III project (that's a like a final...thing...um...yeah, I'll explain that later). Anyway, it was a sci-fi play in two acts, 3 hours long, and AMAZING. There were a few blatant nods to Firefly, which is cool, because it didn't come off as pretentious but more of a thanks to Joss Whedon for inspiring the writer.

I can't say enough about this play. I'm going again tomorrow, and bringing my camera. It was excellently acted, with minimal sets that kept the focus on the characters. The ending was a twist ending that actually worked, and as an added bonus I know a lot of people in the cast. Hooray for theater!

In other news, there is no other news. I'm off to write my response paper for Lit, pray for my soul...oh wait, I sold it to Evan today for some of his esoteric French chocolate, nevermind :)
