However, I feel there may have been a misunderstanding regarding my motives those many years ago when I paid big bucks to take you to see the Broadway production of Julius Caesar starring Denzel Washington. I recall telling you what a great cultural and educational experience it was going to be to see Shakespeare on Broadway, but the truth was that I just wanted to see Denzel Washington up close and personal, in the flesh, wearing a Toga, bare-legged .... sorry, my mind wandered. Anyway, just so you don't get the wrong idea about your mother, when we go see the Broadway play "A Steady Rain" when I visit in October, it is because I hear it is a thought-provoking, well- written, powerful play and, the fact that it stars Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman is irrelevant and in no way influenced my decision to pay premium prices to sit up close. I swear. Love, your mother Dear Lauren, I thoroughly enjoyed your review of the play Henri VI as staged by the young Shakespearean theatre group NYNEO.
