We went to the Seattle Public Theatre on Greenlake yesterday night to see Spokesong and we were disappointed. The actors weren't stellar and were either unable to pull off the the play well out of inept ability or the play was written badly. First, Spokesong didn't have very complex plot and was predictable. Second, it took half the show for us to figure out that the main character was having flashbacks! Third, one actor was playing several different characters and it was just sloppy, besides that he was just too loud for such a small theater.

I suppose we have been to several plays there and this is the first to dissapoint. And truly it did have some high points.

We did have a nice dinner (I made seafood ciopinno, artichokes and french bread - the first time I have cooked in ages!) and a pretty drive down to Seattle.
