I decided to attend a locally held production of
Romeo and Juliet. Thai students have a happy habit
of engaging farang with "Hello, where you come from?"
It turned out these were freshmen from Chiang
Mai University also interested in Shakespeare.
This was a musical performance with some very
serious and compelling choreography. Here Father
Laurence counsels Romeo while school children
look on. It was in Thai of course, which gave it all
a remarkable flavor for my Thai-challenged ears.
Mercutio dies an elegant death. The staging was
masterfully done in this rather elegant theater.
Curtain calls, since there was no curtain, were quite
fun.
This budding actress was enjoying being photographed
by an appreciative farang. (foreigner)
