The path to Longfellow Park is a lot more linear than the path to Danehy Park, and it’s in Harvard Square, which means it’s near food and bookstores.
I found the third part of the Vorrh trilogy, in hopes that I will one day find the second part. I also found All Those Vanished Engines. The woman at the register had hair of red and green, like a macaw’s wing. I also had a Cajun burger, that is to say, a burger with cajun spices and grilled onions, and they were very generous with the fries.
That’s good.

There are no bathrooms in Longfellow Park.
That’s bad.

Darwin’s is nice enough to have a public bathroom.
That’s good.

They close at 8.
That’s bad.

They have really delicious looking cookies and Boylan Black Cherry soda.
That’s good.

In one of the houses’ yards was a wooden cat statue with eyes the color of emeralds.
A girl played the violin in front of Clover.
It continues to be humid as fuck, despite the earlier rain.

This is a play about Henry IV, not a play about Vlad the Impaler. That’s why they suggest not standing in between the yellow lines.

Whereas Richard III is history as a tragedy, Henry IV is history as a comedy.
Henry IV, Part 1 is basically the misadventures of Prince Hal, the future King Henry V, who has been hanging around in taverns with John Falstaff. Meanwhile, Henry IV is dealing with uprisings in Scotland and Wales, which, for those of you who’ve seen Richard II, is his fault, so he can’t go crusading in the Middle East, and Hotspur is challenging his rule and not handing over prisoners of war. Mortimer considers himself the legitimate heir to the throne of England. There’s a battle, Henry IV wins and divvies up his realm amongst his sons. Continued in Henry IV, Part 2.
It’s confusing because a) there are no programs and I was kind of lost because of it and b) Falstaff, for example, is called Falstaff, John, and Jack.
In one scene, Falstaff delivers a stirring speech and the other characters are sitting in the audience, heckling him and throwing popcorn. After that, the sheriff showed up, talked in a southern sheriff accent, and all the bandits hid behind a sheet or behind a lamppost or in front of the bas-relief (it depicts some of Longfellow’s characters, I’ve read) where Longfellow’s bust was.
In one scene, they wore bandito masks. One of them was dressed in a sleeveless plaid shirt and cowboy hat, and she looked like a cattle rustler.
Earlier, when they were practicing the fight scenes, one of them was wearing an oversized pink shirt and a sun hat and thick gloves, and another cast member said she looks like the most ferocious gardener. She’s ready to slay some weeds.
She says to tell your pets about it and they’ll tell other people’s pets and they’ll tell their owners and all the animals.
Longfellow Park is home to a few eastern cottontails.
An audience member had aqueous green hair.
A woman had a mandala tattoo, a woman had a dreamcatcher adorned with flowers tattooed on her shoulder, a man had a nude woman amidst waves tattooed on her arm and wore a hat depicting a lovecraftian cheshire cat, adorned with pins.

On the way home, I overheard a girl from Puerto Rico and a girl from Pakistan engaged in a conversation about fruits and Disney Princesses, and how Pocahontas isn't technically a princess. There was a Puerto Rican festival at City Hall and there was some kind of dance party in Harvard Square, though it wasn't with live music as far as I could tell.

burning question: how do they handle Siri and Alexa in Kerry?
