Yesterday we performed Galathea, a 1583 English play, for a small group of people. In person - no one wanted to do a Hollywood Squares Zoom production. Both the audience and the actors wore COVID masks. That made it harder for the actors, of course, but such is life. We may try to perform again when we can either be outdoors (and so unmasked/unmuffled) or perhaps for Twelfth Night (whenever that happens again).
This has been in the works for a while. It was what we had planned to do for Twelfth Night 2021; we had cast back in July 2019 and read through once, but not gotten any farther before Things Got Cancelled.
I have quite a few thoughts on this, but they are jumbled and I don't want to spend a lot of time getting them out and editing. So I will just say that I am glad we did it. It wouldn't call it one of our top three productions, but a fine performance and the audience enjoyed it. It was much better than our last in-person production. No serious line drops, awkward pauses, or anything else of the like. (I completely spaced on one line at the end of a monologue, but I dropped something else in that worked okay.)
