Contributed by: Andrew Papa, one-third of the cast of our hilarious daylight show this season
My
summer of 2014 could probably best be labeled “The Summer of Déjà Vu.” Not only is this my second year working for
the Water Works Theatre Company, it’s also my second time performing in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
(abridged) [revised]. Despite the befuddlement
that usually accompanies déjà vu moments, these particular repeat experiences are both humbling and
exhilarating. This is a magnificent
company to work for, and I get to
perform in one of my favorite shows of all time. What could be better?
But
looking ahead at this particular production, there are so many new and exciting
elements. What makes this show so much
fun is that no two productions are alike.
I suppose you could say that about any play, but it could not be truer
than with this one. Many of the show’s
key moments are completely made up by the cast – not just by what’s in the
script – and a great deal of it is improvised.
Just which parts are made up, you might ask? You just might have to comes a few times to
see for yourself. J
This is a great cast, a great company,
and a wonderful way to spend the summer…even if it is, as the great Yogi Berra
once said, “déjà vu all over again.”
