Okay, this past weekend I only saw four shows:
Kiss of the Spiderwoman at Kensington Arts Theater
Othello at Tapestry
Pack of Lies at Silver Spring Stage
X-philes Unrequited and Matt and Ben by Accokeek Creek at DCAC.
And this coming weekend I only have three lined up:
Dinner with Friends at Elden Street
The Scottish play at the Rude Mechanicals *
Side Man at Keegan Theatre.
But the really cool thing is that Chris played the title role in Othello (beautifully!) in his second Shakespeare (after Henry V) and Amy will be playing Lady MacScottish Play in her first Shakespeare. How neat is that?
* I haven't decided if I am that superstitious or if I merely respect the superstitions of others, but I'm not writing out the actual name of that play if it means that I'll have to go outside, turn around three times, and spit every time someone reads this post. No way.

You realize, don't you Leta, that your precious Gelato will be your undoing...
I don't know the superstition. And now I'm all curious! Aside from the fact that its an especially difficult play not to Rend With Excessive Drama.
Doesn't that little ritual apply only if you commit the unpardonable offense of uttering the name of That Play while actually in a theater? I think it's safe/legal/whatever to utter that name elsewhere.
Speaking of that particular theatrical superstition, when I did a show in March, one of the kids was walking around the back of the stage to his next place, uttering That Name the whole way. I'd love to know whether any of the superstitious nailed him on the spot and made him perform the exorcistic ritual...
