AnnMarie Gardens

The gardens were amazing. I had never been to an outdoor art gallery before in my life. Usually you have to be in a musuem to see such interesting scuplures. However they have a connection with the Smithsonian, and get alot of interested works that are weather resistant. Because of this I got to walk around a large path a see a number of interesting works. Plus the weather was amazing and the spring flowers were blooming, so I got to see alot of interesting art, plus a beautiful walk in nature at the same time. The most interesting peice was a walkway that lead to overlook a large red sculpture. The walkway was twisted and had writing on it. The writing was supposed to fade over the years to show wear and tear of time. New writings will be written and someday forgotten. It was a very provocitive peice that could only exist outside. I highly recommend everyone go see it, if they get a chance. Below is a picture of fountain as you come into the gardens.

Mandrake

I attended the Mandrake saterday night. I was plesantly surprised. I didnt think Machiavelli could be funny after reading the Prince a few years back. However the play was filled with comedy, while some of the comedic value came from the main characters, most of it came from the Zanni. A group of characters who didn't speak but instead made funny noises and did alot of slap stick comedy in the background while the play was going on. It was a very odd thing at first, because I have never seen a play that had so many things going on in the background taking away from what was going on up front. I enjoyed the theme of the play, tricking an old man to allow someone to sleep with his wife. This was done by posing as a doctor and stating that if you give her this potion she will be furtile, however the first person to sleep with her will die eight days later. This set up allowed the old man to find someone off the street to sleep with his wife so he would absorb the posion. It was very funny to see the crazness of the plot work. I also really enjoyed the masks everyone wore, it was very humorous. I give it two thumbs up!
