Poor Puck's Plight

     The statue of Puck at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery is missing some fingers...intentional or accidental damage to a statue that had already suffered a more official slight,according to a story in today's The Montgomery Advertiser:

It was moved out of the foyer (of the theater) because there were complaints about how little clothing Puck has on.


     It seems that even when we here in the Deep South rise above our humble roots and manage to create a facility as absolutely world-class as ASF, we have to act like rubes when skin---even on a statue!--- is exposed.

  1. I have another ASF story.

    A year or two ago I went to buy some tickets. I entered through one of the front doors, tripped over a square base of a round column and went sprawling. I ended up with a gash on my hand.

    So, if you see a "Use other door" sign on one of the entrances, you'll know why.
