Yesterday, my girlfriends and I went to see a play, Hay Fever, at our Minneapolis Guthrie theater. We started with a dinner at the Indian restaurant next to my office called Dancing Ganesha and then drove over to the theater. The food was great but we had limited time, and rushed, rushed, rushed.

The play was wonderful. The stage set was amazing!!! I have never seen anything like this with so many beautiful details and colors. Just the stage itself was very impressive.
Actors were great.

At first I had hard time understanding everything they were saying but after a short while I got into tune. The play was about an English family who lives in a small town near by London. The family consists of mother, father, son and daughter. Kids are grown up. All members of the family are eccentric and self centered. Each invited a guest for a weekend. The family is not super hospitable and very dramatic which made the play very funny.

The clothing they were wearing was also remarkable. If there would have been Oscars and I would have been the judge, this play would’ve gotten an Oscar for the artistic stage set, for the costume design, best actress - Harriet Harris, and supporting actress role played by Heidi Bakke.

It was a satire on a dysfunctional family; however, I can see a lot of truth in their behavior. At one moment, I even saw myself and my family. It was an amusing and enjoyable show! I would recommend seeing it!

Whoever designed the set at Guthrie is also a genius!

молодец, что находишь для себя время! О семьях всегда интересно смотреть, особенно когда декорации и игра прекрасны.

У меня знакомая на работе берёт билеты в театр по $2. Обычно эти билеты стоят минимум $29 и больше. Вот в этот раз на удивление за неделю собрала подруг.
Мы очень классно провели время и спектакль был классный.
Так бы чаще выбираться... и тебе желаю как-нибудь выбраться...
