On Tuesday, October 30, 2012 we decided to have a bit of a fright night on Massachusetts Avenue! We began by finding a cozy spot at Aesop's Tables. This Mediterranean restaurant afforded just the right cover from the cold rain. This evening of the full moon, we stepped past the wet night and into the brightly colored walls of this corner cafe. Ashley had the gyros and Emily had the lobster bisque. We finished it all off by splitting a piece of pumpkin cream cheese cake. It was a perfect night for making plans and wasting some time! We were sure to need all our wits before facing the Frankenstein monster!
Next we headed over to the IndyFringe Basile Theatre to catch our show. After paying our admittance and picking up some drinks, we found fourth row seats and got comfortable. The advertisement for the show had read, " The 4th Wall Players brings you mary Shelley's Frankenstein, returning to the IndyFringe Basile Theatre just in time for Halloween! Victor Frankenstein discovers the secret to bestowing life and comes face to face with the abomination he created. Returning to a grieving family, Victor must fight for the survival of his loved ones while attempting to end the curse he sprang on mankind."
We were certain by that introduction that this night would be one to be remembered! It will truly be remembered, but for a different reason! This show was horrible! It felt like we were watching a middle school production. Such a sad day when one of your most beloved stories dies in front of you! We had to contain our laughter through most of the show and spent the rest of the night driving home and laughing all the way! We definitely didn't have any nightmares after that production! I guess it will always be a memory to cherish of the night before All Hallow's Eve when we cozied up in a cafe and laughed harder than we have in a long while! Best twin night ever!
