More outdoor Shakespeare

Published by at 7:52 pm under shakespeare,sketchbook

Actors’ Shakespeare Project, my favorite Boston Shakespeare ensemble, did a reprise of their great Love’s Labours Lost production out in Harvard Square this weekend. It was just as good the second time, although a lot more distracting (ambulances, thunderstorms, smokers, etc). I also happened to meet several of the cast as well as the woman who is directing their Merchant of Venice in the fall.

I also did my first “animated” play drawing. It’s a brave new world (to quote the bard).

    Thanks, Jayson

    Beautiful sketches, and they capture the energy and joy of the production. I hope Merchant proves as animated!
