When everyone else has gone mad, the fool alone is left with reason. Welcome to a look at Costard in Love’s Labour’s Lost and Denton Meehan, the actor who is taking him on in OSP’s upcoming production. (It opens tomorrow, August 7th, get your tickets - go, go, go!) In this episode, Denton and I discuss the history of the fool, the balance fools bring to the world (and why we cannot afford to get rid of them), the difference between a clown and fool, and why we laugh.
Please come see Love’s Labour’s Lost at OSP; it’s running August 7th through August 17th. It’s an amazing show and cast with a fabulous soundtrack. See Shakespeare mix it up with the musical works of Alanis Morisette, The Doors, and more.
And if you are looking to get a little creeped out, don’t miss GRŒNLAND: Stalked by dark and mounting horrors, an isolated religious colony must survive until spring. GRŒNLAND runs at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City on August 15th, 16th, and 17th
The arts are under attack, and buying tickets is a great way to show your support and fight back.
