When it really works it is absolutely magical; even when only parts of it work it is exciting. Since Feb 1 we have seen 17 theatrical performance, but that includes two in New York and it includes Tamerlano. In what remains of May (we will be out of town a lot so the theatre list is thin) we have tickets for Ant. & Cleo, School for Scandal, History Boys, Internationalist, Electra and Clouds (by Aristophones, put on by Hart Middle School in Anacostia in a version they have spent months translating into their own vernacular)! As is clear from the above we get great pleasure from Theatre in Washington and from where we sit attendance does not seem to be declining -- but if you're counting, you are probably right. Thanks very much for DC Theatre Scene.
