missizzyToday we got to the Folger for the last time before it closes for renovations, there to see The Merry Wives of Windsor. We were supposed to go last week, but they had a power outage. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if they'd just given us a refund. I've seen Merry Wives twice already. The first, a professional production, cut large parts of it out and wasn't too good. The second was at Sweet Briar, and still cut some scenes, but remained coherent and was pretty good, and between that and seeing the Met's broadcast of Falstaff, I sort of feel like I've seen enough of it for one lifetime. But we bought for the entire season, and it was a season of Falstaff.
Best to go while I still can, really. The Folger will still have a season next year, and one of their plays will even be held in a location we can easily get to, but the others we'll be skipping. Beyond that, well, who knows if I'll even still be in DC. It seems the purge of civil servants not loyal to Trump may be starting, and while I'm hoping it doesn't go down to my level this year, if he's releected, I'm going to have to start the job search I hoped I'd never have to put myself through again.
