Today I accompanied Barb to a play at an outside venue up by DeLaveaga Park.  The title of the play was 'Master Harold'... and the Boys. It was presented by Shakespeare Santa Cruz. I enjoyed the production tremendously.  Here is a synapse I found on line and a link to get tickets If you want to check it out.   https://santacruzshakespeare.org/season-2025-overview/2025-main-stage-productions/master-harold-and-the-boys/

"Set in the apartheid era of South Africa, we find ourselves in the tea shop of Harold’s family. Young Hally, who is white, spends the afternoon after school in the shop with two of the family’s servants, Sam and Willie, who are black. Over the course of 90 minutes, we bear witness to the shifting relationship between all of them; a relationship built both on love and respect, as well as one built on bigotry and institutionalized racism. Fugard’s autobiographical masterpiece is both joyous and brutal, with an ending that will leave you both stunned and inspired. It brings home SCS’s 2025 festival theme “No One is Alone” with a beautiful recognition – one that would lead Fugard to becoming one of the great playwrights of the 20th century."

Yesterday and today I took a break from the Documentary project.  I’m certain by tomorrow my emotions and thinking will be settled enough to begin again.  I cleaned the house and studio tonight and did a few loads of laundry, paving the way for an open day without obligations.  Looking forward to the spacious opening.
