Do you want to buy barb, the Berkeley Barb It's the only paper in town |
This is a short song fragment. It was written for Birthday For Shakespeare. The Berkeley Barb was a caustic newspaper that presented radical ideas. It was kind of the primary clarion on the campus which is, as you know, where Birthday For Shakespeare takes place. A group of actors in the theatrical workshop struggle to merge their political thoughts with their celebration of "the bard", on the 400th year since his birth - estimated to be circa 1568 / 1569. In the end, though l finished this song, I decided not to include it in the musical.
