Damon and I went to see a God-awful embarrassment of a play Friday night. The Washington Shakespeare Company did Tom Stoppard’s “Jumpers.” It was horrific. Truly bad. I can’t tell if they play itself is good, because the production was just so rotten.
And the thing is, if we saw a rotten play in Atlanta, at least we knew most of the actors. Now we can’t even root for them to pull it our or laugh at their folly.
We’re going to another show tonight. It’s a 3-play weekend. The second was good –“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” It’s a children’s show put on by the Kennedy Center. Tonight we’ll be at Ford’s Theatre and I wonder if I’ll be able to keep my eyes of “the box.”
