At least, I think it's Wednesday. I'm actually getting a little bit disoriented. Whatever day it is, this evening was a winner! Two absolutely 5-star shows.

7:00 PM Bards
Presented by Four Humors Theater at Southern Theater
This is the best show I've seen so far, narrowly edging out Flammable People. It's a good story, a fantastic cast, clever staging, and a stage crew that sings madrigals in perfect 4-part harmony while changing the props and carting dead bodies offstage. Danny Salmen makes a fabulously hunky Kit Marlowe: poet, playwright, and special agent for Her Majesty's Secret Service. Matt Spring's talented but tongue-tied Shakespeare is inspired. And the Earl of Southampton -- oh, my. There are two more performances of this show, plus in all likelihood one more chance to catch it as a Fringe Encore. Don't miss it!!

8:30 PM Monster Movies with My Undead Dad
Presented by Nancy Donoval at Playwrights' Center
Nancy Donoval is the story-teller's story-teller. She's not a roller-coaster of emotion like Amy Salloway, or an ADHD maniac like Jimmy Hogg. She's just really really good, whether she's telling a classic folk tale, explaining why her childhood cellar was full of invisible witches, or sharing bittersweet memories of her late father.
