DON PEDRO Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you; for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour. BEATRICE No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born. Much Ado About Nothing, II.i
I reviewed The Three Rings of Cirque Tsuki for Everything Theatre last weekend: The performer/devisors of ImmerCity have put together an intricately nested experience of stories within stories. Don’t worry, it’s less confusing than it sounds. Inevitably there were a few places during five hours of theatre where I found my attention wandering, but overall … Continue reading
