No, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio are not touring the country, but if they were I would be stalking them right this very minute. Instead, I went to go see Two Gentlemen of Verona with my Shakespeare class.It was absolutely amazing! Everything except the dialogue was modernized and they included modern music.Bur my favorite part was the men. Proteus was played by Nick Dillenburg and Valentine was played by Andrew Veenstra. I was drooling over both. I was so happy I wore my push-up bra and low-cut dress. After the show we got to have a talk back with some of the actors. I prayed that they would be two of them to come back. When I saw them stroll onto stage in street clothes I was sweating like a sinner church. Nick was extremely pensive and didn't speak much while Andrew was animated and funny (yes, we are on a first name basis...in my head). They all seem to love what they do and that just makes the whole experience better. None of them were pompous or annoyed and the seemed genuinely interested in answering our questions. Now, I know this is in my head, but I could have sworn Andrew kept looking at me and smiling as he was answering questions, or not. I know this is just him addressing everyone in the audience like any good actor, but let me dream. Kristina and I are going to try to get cheap tickets for Tuesday nights show. Yes ladies and gents, I am going to see them again ;)
