You call the cues for the Thistlewood Summer Players, who stage Shakespeare on a plywood platform in a Minneapolis city park every July, and this summer your hardest cue is Oscar Featherby. He plays Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. He is brilliant, he is late, and he has rewritten his own blocking twice since Tuesday.
All characters are adults aged 25 or older. Your choices set the pace.
