Second culture event

With my second event, I went to see William Shakespeare's play "The Two Noble Kinsmen." I've been to operas, concerts, musicals and so on but never a play. This was a first for me and I was curious to see it, to be honest. It was very the program I received, it gave a little synopsis about the play and the story behind it.

I'll give the short version of it, two cousins (Palamon and Arcite) get sent to jail as prisoners of war. They both see Emilia, whose beauty is beyond what they have ever encounter in their lives. They both ended up getting out of jail, Palamon by escaping and Arcite by an exile of the kingdom. They both end up fighting for her hand in marriage and Arcite wins the fight. Palamon is about to be put to death before the news of Arcite; he has been killed by a horse that fell on him. Palamon takes Emilia's hand in marriage and the story ends as so. Emilia is the sister of the king and always has an attitude with him. Emilia doesn't want to marry either of the two cousins, but is forced to marry one. This play consists of comedy, tragedy, and of course the Renascence time.

I really enjoyed the play and it was nice to see a Shakespeare's play that I'm not familiar with. Everyone knows "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet" but maybe not this one. At first it was hard to follow along with the story, because of the old English talk. After a while, I got used to it and just enjoyed the play. I might be interested to see another one. The only thing I would possibly be a critic of is the music and sound effects. I felt if they are going to use it, then they better make sure that it's really good. I know how it is to rehearse something like this and get it ready to performance status. It's not easy and it's why I admire everyone that played part in it.

The next event is something that I'm more familiar with, a concert from the Shepherd Wind Ensemble...
