An Ideal Husband

No – it is not my list for things I look for in an ideal husband…although that would be kind of fun…

Aaron and I went to the Cal Shakes Outdoor Theatre a while ago to watch this play titled “An Ideal Husband” by Oscar Wilde. Both of us LOVE theatres, plays and the like and we love Shakespeare. So Aaron surprised me and took me to this play. It was one of the best plays I have seen in a long time and the cast was fantastic!!

Oscar Wilde, of course, is a very colorful writer and this play was thoroughly enjoyable. So weeks after we watched this play, I found the entire script online and sent it to Aaron. We enjoyed reading it and reliving moments of the play.

Yesterday evening, we were sharing a quiet evening and decided that it would be fun to read the play together and enact it to the best of our abilities – accent included, costumes excluded. We had a blast!!!! So I read most of the roles in the beginning and Aaron was Lord Goring and also the high pitched voices of Lady Markby and other women actors…This was an impromptu date and a fun time to be shared together.

I would strongly suggest it as a no $$ involved date idea! You should try it..nothing is funnier than making fools of yourselves with fake accents and to add to the drama, throw in some costumes..

Enjoy!!
