Great! Thanks for these, Gael. I would so love to see this production, but that sadly ain't gonna happen.

Lucky you! What a chance to get an inside view of the production, not to mention seeing a college friend again. Great pictures, too.

I've never seen or read Falstaff. Did you enjoy it? Any caveats? FanSee

It's actually a mashup of "Henry IV, Part 1" and "Henry IV, Part 2" with
the accent on Falstaff.

When Hanks was an intern at Great Lakes, Holly was also an intern.
We saw all the productions over the two summers they were there and
Tom Hanks went from playing servants the first year, to starring in
"Two Gentlemen of Verona" the next year, so he made a lot of progress
in a short period of time. After that he went to Hollywood.

He comes back to Cleveland regularly to do fundraisers for the theater
festival. He and Holly, who also lives in L.A., are pretty tight.

Perfect role for him. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing the photos. Lucky Holly to see him in Falstaff and to have the friendship throughout the years.
I didn't know Tom Hanks did any Shakespeare. Quite a change from his role in Big. I loved him in that and so many of his movies.

I hope you and Mr. Dave are doing well and feeling well. I'm not on fb so don't know what you posted there.
Any recent updates from Alyssa? I guess she's moved on from the archeological dig by now.

She's cataloguing part of the archive at her college during
the day and waiting tables at night, so she's a busy little
bee.
