Yesterday, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
greenygal and I went to see the production of Three Musketeers at Synetic Theater, the local stage company that uses dance, Russian physical theater, and non-traditional interpretations in their performances. They're well known locally for putting on silent (wordless) production of Shakespeare. These are the people who put on the all-clown production of King Lear that was creepy as fuck.
Thankful, The Three Musketeers was not creepy. ( It was awesome! )
Basically, it was a ton of swashbuckling, some tragedy with Athos and deWinter's backstory (her wanting revenge on everyone was great, but I missed why she thought her first murder was justified...), the sweetness of Constance and D'Artagnan's romance, D'Artagnan's complete puppyness, and generally a lot of fun and good dancing.
Next, Synetic is doing their A Midsummers Night's Dream adaptation, which I have seen before, but wouldn't mind seeing again. I'm actually thinking about buying a subscription for the season, since 2013-14 is The Picture of Dorian Grey, Twelfth Night, Hamlet … the rest is silence, and Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog).
