The Pelican Inn, Muir Beach, CA
~~The Tempest by William Shakespeare
Ay, truly, we were the stuff of dreams. In a traditional Tudor setting, The Pelican Inn at Muir Beach, we sat down to dinner with a most absorbing and beautiful gathering: Titania and Tybalt, courtiers and common men, Beatrice and Buckingham.
The Pelican Inn served a sumptuous autumnal feast of Roast Duck, Prime Rib, salad, vegetables and dessert.
Kevin Roche sang the song "What is a Youth" (lyrics by Eugene Walter, music by Nino Rota) from Franco Zeffirelli's stunning film version of Romeo and Juliet (1968).
Bill Branca as King Henry the Fifth gave a stirring reading of Henry's Saint Crispin's day speech:
"We few, we happy, we band of
brothers"

"A noble temper dost thou show in this,
And great affections wrestling in thy bosom
Doth make an earthquake fo nobility.
O, what a noble combat hast thou fought
Between compulsion and a brave respect!
Let me wipe off this honorable dew,
That silvery doth progress on thy cheeks.
My heart hath melted at a lady's tears,
Being an ordinary inundation,
But this effusion of such manly drops,
This shower, blown up by tempest of thy soul,
Startles mine eyes, and makes me more amazed
Than had I seen the vaulty top of heaven
Digured quite o'er with burning meterors."
~~The Life and Death of King John, William Shakespeare
