The Alchemist

My mother and I drove to Austin on Saturday to watch my son, Ben, in his latest performance. He has a supporting role in The Alchemist (by Ben Jonson--a contemporary of Shakespeare). The performance was in a beautiful wooded area in a structure built as a (semi-) reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

The weather was beautiful and the play was lots of fun. And, of course, Ben was the best!
