Fairmont, Minnesota, March 15:
We performed at the Fairmont Opera House, which has the dubious honour of being the (I can safely say) penultimate example of any variety of the Drama of Not Doing a Show. This particular strain of Drama is the same we experienced in Kokomo, Indiana, and the same (albeit with advance notice) [...]

Before scaling our way up Minnesota to Duluth, we stopped in Minneapolis for several days when performances we were going to have in Iowa fell through. It was wonderful to be in a large city again, and it was also wonderful to have a visit with my friend Aaron, who, in the world of Bardolatry [...]

Unprecedented Brevity After an Unprecedented Break in Posting
Monmouth, Illinois, March 4:
It would have been appropriate for us to perform Henry V in Monmouth, because Henry, as the Crown Prince of Wales, was known as ‘Harry of Monmouth.’ I think he is also referred to as simply ‘Monmouth’ a couple of times in the Henry IVs. [...]

Dayton, Ohio, February 21-22:
On the American Shakespeare Center On Tour Weather Map, we can see the vans moving up here while this front of snowy misery moves down from the artic north like the Assyrian coming down like a wolf on the fold and [...]

Huntsville, Alabama, February 14-16:
One of the problems with God’s Geographical Reminder That Life is Not Fair (otherwise known as Florida) is the question of why bad weather happens to good people. We drove into a cold front as we moved west, so that when we emerged from the vans in Huntsville, Alabama, the temperature hovered [...]

Whilst we were in Georgia and I was on a picture-taking spree, I took the following pictures of Life as Bianca:
Bianca’s self-portrait
Bianca and the angle of the petticoat
This is what it looks like to be Bianca. You will notice that my feet are not visible.
Hellloooo feet! I am reminded of the bit in Alice and [...]

Augusta, Georgia, February 12:
Travelling one state northwards into weather more reminiscent of April than June, we settled in Augusta to give a performance of Taming of the Shrew in a gorgeous theatre that we all agreed we would like to pack into the cargo van and take with us. (Of course, this would require a [...]

Words cannot express how fantastic, and how surreal, it was to be in the Florida Keys.
And so this concludes this particular blog post.

Sarasota, Florida, February 5-6:
Florida appears to me to be God’s geographical reminder that life is not fair. I had never been to Florida in the winter, and, being thus unprepared for the surprise of how warm it actually was, my first thought, as I stepped out of the van, was: “This is not FAIR.” It [...]
