We recently received an email from a couple of Brits who saw one of our performances in Central Park while on "holiday" in the U.S. We can only assume that their compliments of our work with Willy are accurate since they are English, and being so, know more about Shakespeare than us. Feel free to check out some excerpts below!
Hi,
We happened upon one of your 'performances in the park' recently, purely by chance, on our last day in the US (Saturday 26th July to be precise...I have to write it like that cause you guys write the date all funny). Having seen the tail end of the first performance and enjoyed it tremendously we just had to stay to see the whole of the 2nd show (plus it was a beautiful day and we had nothing better to do).
Well we just wanted to say thank you for ending our holiday on a high. That Saturday was a sad one in many respects after three weeks spent in Florida, Washington, Atlantic City and finally New York, we were finally heading back to England. Our flight wasn't until late in the day and we were just killing time in Central Park for a couple of hours when we stopped on the path to see what on earth 3 blokes in tights were doing shouting at a small group of people and a large group of rocks (is that a rock group?).
Suffering from our quaint and charming English reserve, it took us some considerable time to sidle up to the edge of the area and settle in for the show, but what a show!! It was genuinely funny, quirky, energetic, and full of men in tights...what more could you ask for?
The signed poster survived the journey home intact, and it will be framed and hung on our wall some day soon. It's a talking point, and who knows, one day it may be worth pennies to a collector. And should any one, or all, of you become famous the world over and ridiculously rich, we shall shamelessly point to our poster and remind you how our $5 helped in some small way to send you on your journey to the dizzy heights of stardom (signed memorabilia, free tickets and wads of cash gratefully received).
So, thanks once again for making two jaded holidaymakers laugh out loud. It was a strangely fitting end to an incredible journey.
Take care, good luck, and keep up the good work.
Mike and Penny
