Cabins, Shakespeare, and Scarlett O'Hara

This weekend Brian and I went down to Cedar City where we met my parents and my sister Karli. On Friday night we went to see Julius Caesar at the Shakespearean festival. It was a very good production. The actors spoke the lines from the play as they were, but they were dressed in modern clothing (ie. wearing business suites while at the capitol and wearing fatigues while on the battlefield). I thought this would really bother me, but it was actually a very good production. I didn't even notice the costumes after the first 20 mintues.
Then Friday night we went up to Duck Creek to stay in a cabin that my parents had rented. It was a very cute, cabin-y place and we had a blast there once we found it! Heading up the mountain in the dark, we had trouble finding the cabin because the cabins are not numbered in order! On the road Heavenly Dr., it goes #575, then #596, and then #566, which was the cabin we were staying in. Now that's good Utah sense right there. So after almost breaking in to the wrong cabin we finally decided to head back up the road and we found the right one. Thank goodness we figured this out before someone saw us trying to break into their neighbor's cabin!
Saturday afternoon we headed back down to Cedar City and saw another play called Moonlight and Magnolias. It was a farcical look at the week during which the screen play for the movie Gone With the Wind was written. It was very funny. These three characters are locked up in a room together for five days trying to get the screen play done. They start to get a little crazy towards the end and I couldn't help but think, "Hey, this is like me writing my thesis!" I could really empathize with the characters.
We had a great weekend, but it's back to real life now. Hopefully my attempts to finish my prospectus will turn out better than things turned out in the play!
