To arms...!

One of the great things about living in Chicago is the access to cultural events.

Recently, we had the opportunity to see Saint Joan, performed by the Shaw Festival at the Shakespeare Theatre on Navy Pier.

It was a good production. The theater there is a wonderful setting (although, for this play they struck the thrust stage and had simply the main stage), and the acting, costuming, lighting, etc. were all well done. This was the first Shaw play I had seen, and I really enjoyed the play of words (there is a great deal of back-and-forth banter in his dialogue).

If you get an opportunity to see the play (or the movie - there appear to be a couple of versions), I recommend it!
