thoreauAfter a lovely quick train ride into Chicago - Dave's 'favorite cousin' Lissa picked us up at Union Station and we took a lovely trip up the lakeshore for brunch. (The Heartland Cafe) David had a "Peach and Cheddar" Omelette that was surprisingly savory considering the ingredients and I had the largest salad on the planet (no pictures, sorry) From there we went to Chicago's Lifeline Theater.
At Lifeline - we saw the 4pm show of "The Picture of Dorian Grey" - - and wow - what incredible theater...

Literally an enactment of Oscar Wilde's novel - the interpretation by Robert Kauzlaric was beautiful. The stage allowed for both generations of Harry and Basil to interact with one another. Brett (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
septimuswarren would have had the most REMARKABLE time with this show. Lifeline theater specializes in dramatizing famous novels. If you live in Chicago - check this out.... http://www.lifelinetheatre.com
David said "the play didn't have much plot and relied really heavily on witty sharp dialoque" - very quick summarizing the beauty of Oscar Wilde. LOL! We had a lively discussion on the way home about what statements Oscar Wilde was making with each character. It was truly a wonderful opportunity....
Tonight we're having serious wine with his cousin Lissa - we warned her in advance that we like Muscat - so she had a bottle (or two) ready. Yay!3
