• In Boulder with @daphneun to see Taming of the Shrew. Not sure how the show will be, but the pizza at Ado's was outstanding. #
• So; Taming of the Shrew. Verdict: the pre-show pizza was really good. @DaphneUn and I have strong, parallel opinions on the production. #
• In short, my opinion: doing Shakespeare, you have complete freedom in production choices; utter constraint in The Words. Blog post, I think. #
• Also: Taming the Shrew would totally work rewritten as Dom/sub romance/seduction. Honestly, it might ONLY work that way. Has it been done? #
• I'm still ranting about that Shakespeare production last night. http://bit.ly/a0rsAc #
