The second night of Pride and Prejudice

Well, all and sundry, Pride and Prejudice has now had two performances; half of them. Is it not strange that such work, so much time, can be done so quickly?

Minimalist; yet, I believe, by the grace of God, effective. Drama is an art, art of people and bits of fabric and paint and time and speech. To usurp a Much Ado quote, is it not strange that dining hall chairs can hale men's souls out of their bodies? How can it be that we can show the story of two people becoming humble on four nights, the same story yet different?

Ben and Lisa are such gracious, humble directors. They always thank their assistants and crew and minions; even those who do very little, actually; they always have time to listen to the most random people, if necessary; they tolerate endless Macbeth comparisons and even love us who make them. Give them honor, and they will be blessed by it and yet reflect it back to those to whom it is due. Honor them.
