It is hot in TX. Going for a record of >100 degree days. Will beat the 1980 record on SA and that is what it is looking like. Gets to cool off to the mid 80's in the evening. Still riding the bike - Yes even in the heat. Attended a couple of plays in the last 2 weeks.

1. SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE at Theater 2
A Dallas premiere of a new musical by Michael John LaChiusa
A powerful musical of lust, greed, murder, faith and redemption retelling classic Japanese stories stunningly re-set in mid-20th-Century Manhattan. “Entertains and astonishes at the same time…” “Will knock you flat…” “Not-to-be-missed…” “A tour-de-force for the performers…”

OK but?? This is the series of plays I see the first "read thru" with the actors/actresses and then it is fun to see the final production.

2. Satyricon by Gaius Petronius,
World Premiere adaptation of the scandalous Roman Novel.
Adapted to the stage by Mark-Brian Sonna

Set in the time of Nero, this comedic play explores the misadventures of an over the hill and broke Roman soldier and his young slave as they live off the rich and famous.
Follow their ever increasing misadventures as they mooch off wealthy noblemen, sleep with their wives, and do whatever it takes to get by. Frequently banned, Satyricon has been considered as one of the greatest books ever written as well as the most “scandalous" and "filthiest" in Western Literature.

These are weird, interesting, not for everyone performaces - but all entertaining and this was the least entertaining of all

Off today - the reason for the post and trying to stay cool just as the DB is also
