ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE

Update: The Herald covers Judge Altfield's stage exploits here. 

All the world's a stage;

and all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts....

And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut

Full of wise saws and modern instances,

And so he plays his part.

The Miami Acting Company, of which Judge Bill Altfield has something to do with, is staging Man of La Mancha this weekend, and we have heard that there are a few REGJB regulars sprinkled throughout the cast. 

It's either that or the Marlins, and this seems a better value. 

Dr. Samuel Mudd was the physician who treated actor and presidential assassin John W Booth for the leg he broke when he jumped on to the stage after shooting the president. Mudd had also met Booth prior to the assassination. Mudd was later convicted of conspiracy. Blog trivia: What local prison did Mudd serve his time at before President Andrew Johnson pardoned him? 

Will Rumpole be at the play? Well, you can always Dream the Impossible Dream. 

See You In Court, making the impossible possible.
