Rehearsal: "Love & War With the Bard's Broads and Dames"

By Bob Morrison

Actor-Manager Hilary Kacser invited me to a rehearsal last night of the piece she and co-creator Jennifer Cook will present at CapFringe: “Love & War: With the Bard’s Broads and Dames.”

The show is a two-part celebration of Shakespeare’s women in drama, dance and song. Exhortations to valor combine with moments of pathos, humor, romance and a stirring of dance. Besides Hilary and Jennifer, the cast includes Jordan Boughrum, Liesyl Franz, Jason B. McIntosh and Mike Wong.

You can see more photos from the rehearsal on my Bonnie Briar Productions web site by clicking here. Also, Dave Nuttycombe, webmaster for Washington CityPaper, was at the rehearsal last night for his Fringe & Purge so keep an eye on that blog for fresh video.


Cheers.
Bob
