The year is 1605. James I sits on the throne of England, and the accused co-conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot, the infamous scheme to blow up Parliament, have been rounded up for interrogation. This provides the setting for the play "Equivocation," now at Murphys Creek Theatre until Sept. 6. The play, written by Bill Cain in 2009, first opened at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and has proved to be a popular production ever since.

In the opening scene, the Machiavellian Sir Robert Cecil is making Shakespeare an offer he dare not refuse. Shakespeare, or Shagspeare as he is known here,

is being coerced to write a contemporarypiece about the Gunpowder Plot which coincides with the version that the powers behind the throne wish to disseminate.

Shag reacts with the trepidation that most writers would at being told what to do, but realizes that he refuses at his peril. He brings the proposal to his company of actors who are quite enthusiastic and encourage him to accept the project.

This is a challenging, multilayered play which explores a

Graham Scott Green's Shag is contemplative, curious and conflicted, exactly as we would expect the genius playwright to be. In addition to dealing with recalcitrant actors and struggling with his new commission, he is grieving the loss of his son. Green's is a memorable, nuanced performance.

Matthew Hobgood delivers energetic, indelible performances in his roles as the actor Sharpe, the her caustic comments in response condemned conspirator Thomas to herfather' saloofness,sheis Wintour and the capricious King very protective of him.

is sprinkled with the occasional profanity. This at first seems anachronistic, but as illustrated by theactorsdissecting some of Shakespeare's bawdier references, it is very likely authentic for that time period as well.

In the second act, everything comes into focus. The interactions between Shagspeare and his daughter are among the most touching scenes. As Shag comes to terms with the loss of his son, he reaches out to his daughter and begins to reconcile with her. He learns that she has rescued one of his earlier plays &om the trash

attention brings plentiful rewards.

There is much to ponder in this thought-provoking play. My husband and I had a lively discussion on its many connotations on the drive back to Sonora.

This clever, well-acted production may motivate you to brush up, not only on your Shakespeare, but on Jacobean history as well.

Three treks in three days were transformative experiences. Never did I expect to appreciate the solemn and tranquil ambiance of the "long brown land" where rainfall is measured by the spoonful.

Though lacking lakes and dashing streams, I was completely unprepared for the great diversity tucked away in these seemingly somber mountains: fascinating geology, meadows, colorfulgorges,towering peaks, seasonal wildflowers, perennial springs, vibrant aspen groves, jumbled badlands, mining relics, quirky dirt tracks that beckon the adventurous, the endless peace and quiet that permeated

The route from downtown Bishop is quick and mostly on paved county roads. After you turn off onto a dirt road, slow down as you proceed to the mouth ofBlack Canyon and the start of the hike. Most passenger carscan negotiate the track that increases in rockiness and rutsfor about 2.2 miles.

About 1.5 miles in, there is a spring and a mass of wild roses nourished by the water source.

Climate conditions determine the volume of water, but it is potable. A few small tent sites are onthe opposite side.

Stop here if you choose a short trek. If not, continue up the wash which gets wider as the route ascends. The trail enters a colony of flora dominated by sagebrush, and pinyon pines appear on the slopes above.

About 2.6 miles beyond the spring, the canyon constricts again. Towering marble (limestone) pinnacles thrust skyward and add more visual interest to this remote gash in the earth.

Vhe History of the Eproson House

with linguine pasta 17

Ray and Ella (Giannini) Eproson moved to Twain Harte with theirfamily in 1930.7he family owned the Twain Harte Grocery (where7-11 is now located). Ray became Twain Harte's Postmaster and Fire Chief, and the PostOnce was located in their store, which,for many years, was also their home. They began building their new home on (what is now) Twain Harte Drive during World War II. This is the current location of the Eproson House. It was completed in 1947 and hadf iv rooms. The PostOnce was moved to thefront part of what is now the bar.

Ray and Ella's bedroom was located behind the Post Off ic. The children's bedrooms were located in what is now the dining room between the current bar and the new dining area near the fireplace.

Ray Eproson died in 1967and Ella lived in the house until her death in 1972. In 1973 the house was sold to Mr. and Mrs Warton who converted the home into a restaurant, "The Eproson House." Dick Rachel took over the restaurantfrom the Wartons, and later sold it in 1975 (8) to Martha Scott, who owned the business until 1991.Martha added the new dining area on the west end o f the building (the sky room). The bar and restaurant became the social and business center o f Twain Harte.

Since1991, the Eproson House has had several owners and,for a short time, a diferent name. It is, once again, the Eproson House Restaurant. We welcome all of you past and present to our House, the Eproson House. Enjoy!
