There's no business like show business!

I went to my first play in Dublin last night. It was part of the Dublin Fringe Festival. This group, The Candidatos, are from Montana, USA, and performed a piece entitled I'm Sorry & I'm Sorry. It was described as part Marx Brothers, part Cohen Brothers, part Cirque du Soliel. It was all brilliant! They managed to take classic clowning, add some acrobatics, and mix in theater commentary while maintaining a constantly engaging and fulfilling piece.

It was their preview last night and tickets were buy one, get one, so I brought Steve along. He is not a regular theater goer, although he does enjoy the occasional show. He loved it, too.

Now I feel it is my duty to encourage you to see them at any international (or national) festival you can. It is well worth it.
