All Shirley wanted from today was have a nice, quiet breakfast, listen to the birds, maybe even catch up on some light reading, but no, she just had to set up her picnic right where Shakespeare in the Back Yard spontaneously decided to start reenacting random scenes from Hamlet. And worse, it’s one of those audience-participation performances, so it’s not like Shirley can just sit there and read and eat and ignore the whole thing. She’s already been asked several times, “I wonder whose skull this is? Poor Joe, poor Billy. Nope, that’s not right. Miss, can you help me out here? Miss? Hey, you!” What a way to start the day.
