We went to see Charlotte's Web today. It was very well done but had an interesting twist to the play. The leading actress who played Charlotte was an Ojibwa Indian. She had a fabulous voice and was a very good actress. In the play they incorporated some Native American aspects and while it was very good, it is just not something that is in Charlotte's Web. They took a bit of creative license in adding this aspect to the play. It was well done, though. I did find myself questioning whether or not it was 'political correctness' at work - the remaking of a classic to fit the 'political correctness' of the day and making sure that certain nationalities feel part of the culture and are included.
Still it was a good play. Great acting and the kids really enjoyed it.
