The Scottish Play

This evening, I was assigned to judge a production of Macbeth. I wasn’t sure this would be a show Marina would enjoy, but she was excited to see it.

We left early in anticipation of heavy traffic. Despite our hopes, we were in rush hour most of the way there. When we finally arrived, we found that the location was right at the foot of the a nationalpark. Since we were a bit early, we drove into the park. We wanted to get out and look around a little bit, but we couldn’t find a place to park. So we decided to go to the show.

The theatre was actually a tent set up in a historic park. Around it were historic buildings, a covered wagon and the park in the background. It was stunning. Marina and I were both impressed by it. Near the tent were food trucks, a woman playing guitar and singing as well as an acrobat. Marina was impressed with the acrobat and spent most of her time before the show watching and talking with her.


We went into the tent for the show a bit early. While it went on she seemed to be following along the whole time. She said she felt she understood the story and she really liked the three witches. After it was over she said she really enjoyed the show.

We had a long drive home. I thought Marina might sleep since she’s had to get up so early, but she ended up talking with me for the whole trip.
