Three weeks ago, I had my Macau theater debut. Our tiny production of As You Like It played for a full weekend to a sold out house and nothing but rave reviews. I have decided. I never actually read any reviews of the show. I don't know if anyone anywhere ever reviewed it.
Last weekend, we took it on the road. Technically, Macau was on the road since most of us live in Hong Kong. This time, we went where absolutely none of us live.
Long before the theater was booked in Macau, they were talking about going to Taipei. I liked that idea since I had never been to Taipei, as opposed to Macau. For whatever reason, Taipei never happened and we went to Macau instead. Until last weekend.
Since this was my first trip to Taipei, I found it all far more interesting than going to Macau. Macau is a lot easier to get to, but Taipei is still pretty close. Instead of a one hour ferry ride, we all packed into a plane for 90 minutes. With airport bureaucracy, it took even longer, but the flight was so short, I'm surprised I never went there earlier. Then again, I have never been to the Philippines and that is only two hours away.
The theater in Taipei was smaller than the one in Macau. That was probably for the best since most of our friends and family already saw the show in Macau. I don't know how many people went to Taipei because of us. No one I personally know went to any of the Taipei shows. Despite being an actual paying audience, they seemed to like it. I never saw any tomatoes.
Why did you leave EB? Its dead without you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that means.
ReplyDeleteEB is expat blog. All stopped talking when you left.
ReplyDeleteThe moderators told me to leave, so I left.
ReplyDeleteI doubt people stopped talking because I left. It probably has a lot more to do with the fact that people are not allowed to talk to each other there.
