| | Tontlawald at Cutting Ball
How could I forget to mention in my blog post this morning that I went to see a preview of Tontlawald last Saturday? Did my Sunday transit mishap truly erase one of the highlights of the three day weekend from my memory?

I was excited to see Tontlawald as I know some of the Cutting Ball crew pretty well from helping them produce Vanguardia a few years ago and I know actors in the show (Marilet and Rebecca) and I hadn't seen a Cutting Ball show in a while now.
How do I explain Tontlawald? I don't know if I can. I could tell you it's a devised theatre piece. Which it is. That it's experimental. Which it is. That it's based on an ancient Estonian fairy tale. All these are accurate descriptions, but I find it hard to describe the theatrical experience.
But perhaps this video by Cutting Ball will give you a better sense of the piece.
After the show I joined Marilet and a few of her friends at Farmer Browns' for some tasty food and drink. Marilet and I rode the 38 home, chatting the entire way. It was great. A truly great evening.
