Mystery

Rain.

Today, that is, when we were supposed to pain the set. And it may rain tomorrow.

And we open on Friday.

This here? This is one example of why all the theatre people you know are somewhat wild-eyed, a bit daredevilly, and completely off their nut.

But, as the writers of Shakespeare in Love (thanks, Tom Stoppard!) so aptly captured, there is a god of plays that watches over us "speciously": How will it work out? We don't know. It's a mystery.
