Last night I saw BYU’s production of Houseboat Honeymoon. Let me just explain to you how fantastic this production is. The script began in a beginning playwriting class (the one I’m actually in right now). It is being directed by my professor Eric Samuelsen. Three of my friends are in it (Haley Flanders, Ashley Bonner, and Moises Lopez), and they are incredibly funny. I also know some people who worked with lighting, etc.
On Thursday, I tried to watch Sweeney Todd, but had to stop after about 50 minutes, following the murder of Sweeney Todd’s first victim. Therefore, following the performance of Houseboat Honeymoon, my friend let me use his Clearplay to watch the last half of the movie. Without the excessive gore, I could get through the movie! And I found it to be a stunning film! I love how dark it is. I love the characters. I love the costumes and design. I love the music…
And that was my Friday night.
Oh! And my friend Lindsay began a book blog. Check out my post on two feminist plays here!
