two very different plays
in one very snowy week
the first, a poignant warning tale
the second, a funny bawdy farce
both about love, life, and loss
both great entertainment
both well acted
both good for the soul.

Good to get out to the theatre. Since we left London in 2012, I haven’t been to one.
Best wishes, Pete.

Going to the theatre is heartwarming and soulfully good for the mind, Beth

I am not familiar with either. But after searching I think they would both be enjoyable and worthy of seeing over again. Probably take away something new every time.

I don’t know why, but live theater has never appealed to me. Maybe I didn’t see enough entertaining shows when I was young.
