"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold--when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."
This is how Dickens begins chapter 54 of GREAT EXPECTATIONS. This statement also describes March in Cedar City, Utah--home of the Utah Shakespearean Festival and the location for the world premiere musical, GREAT EXPECTATIONS. This week we will complete our discussion of the novel and discuss our preparations to bring this story to the stage. What questions came to your mind while reading the novel regarding the musical? Post them here.

There are a lot of different settings - the marshes, the town, Joe's House, Satis House, the town, London, the river, Mr. Jaggers' house - how will all of these places be depicted? Will there be a young Pip and Estella? What moments will be presented through song?
ReplyDeleteWhen in Cedar City attending the Utah Shakespearean Festival, choose the Stratford Bed and Breakfast, just a half block away from the theatres, as your lodging accommodation this year. There are five charming bedrooms to choose from, and it makes the Festival so much more fun when you can discuss yesterday's performances with other patrons around the breakfast table while feasting on Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast with fresh strawberries right from the garden. Delicious!! Staying at a bed and breakfast is an experience not to be missed, so skip the motels and hotels and come sit on our front porch!! http://www.stratfordbb.com
