Double Dose

The play I saw delighted me – “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” – Beneath the stars, a moonlit night And actors I esteem. An added bonus made me grin For there, before my eyes, Upon the stage, an actor friend, Which came as a surprise. I’d heard he’d nabbed the part but that Was many months ago, A fact that I’d forgotten as I sat and watched the show. His cast mates, some quite famous, Likely had some pals, as well, In the audience enjoying What they wrought from Shakespeare’s spell. ‘Twas a double dose of pleasure Floating down in my direction For performance just seems sweeter With a personal connection.
