Well, you've read the notes, the notes were gospel, and now it is time for you to post until the gospel cows come home - they're currently listening to their favorite singer, MOOhalia Jackson.

Is that some kind of cabbage sabotage??

Yesterday, I went to dinner at Anthony's Hearthfire Grill. It was pretty good and with the discount, it wasn't too pricy. I had the Basil Chicken Penne. I forget what my friend had, though...something with shrimp. We also shared the bread pudding for dessert. It was all very good.

I know it's Thursday, but I've already made the mistake a few times this morning of thinking it's Friday. We'll see which idea wins out in my little pea brain.

Thursday morning greetings! Today's my "packing for Chicago" day and I'm getting excited about the trip. Maybe that's why I woke up at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep...

We watched FURY with Brad Pitt last night. Excellent war film, but perhaps the most brutal and bloody one that I have ever seen.

TOD:

Certainly I've seen many movies of Shakespeare's plays, but, on stage, I've only seen 2 different productions of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. One of them, staged in Long Beach, featured Robert Quarry as Petruchio. This was many years before he became COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE.

I did SHREW in college. I was totally miscast as Grumio.

TOD - When I was in high school in Detroit our drama club went to several productions at Wayne State University's Hilberry Classic Theatre. THE TEMPEST and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM stand out in my memory. A couple of years ago Richard and I saw THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, wild west style, at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. Sounds like it shouldn't work, but it did - beautifully. Then, of course, there was TWELFTH NIGHT at the Belasco in New York in 2013 - sublime!

Good morning, all! I have to go to City Center and see Joshie, who's got a deadline for tomorrow's sitzprobe fir bext week's Lady Be Good! When i return home, I'll continue work on PYW.

DR JohnG, I worked on McGlinn's Gershwin Overtures. By the time of the Kern recording, he had decided that Russell Warner was his orchestrator of choice, and he deliberately avoided me between 1994 and 2000 because he owed me $1000 and I finally sent him a letter saying, if you won't repay me, you can at least throw me some work. And so he put me onto the Packard Humanities Institute project.

He was a piece of work.

I helped Dustin Hoffman on his Merchant of Venice research when he played Shylock for Peter Hall's Company. He and the cast were great, but I found Hall's production cold and uninvolved.

I had seen a fantastic off-Off-Broadway production of Merchant of Venice set in Fascist Italy. The production played in a high school auditorium on the East Side. My friend Annette Helde played Portia's trial scene in a fedora and double breasted suit. Stanley Tucci played the friend f Bassanio who elopes with Shylock's daughter.

My friend Barry Lynch was Puck in a Royal Shakespeare Co, production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that was quite wonderful. I haven't seen the filmed version of that production, but I remember the set onstage was door frames of various sizes and heights that rose out of the floor.

Shakespeare on video:

Ian Holm as King Lear with my friend Barry (Finbar) Lynch as Edmund
Helen Mirren in AsYou Like It
Felicity Kendall in Twelfth Night
Trevor Nunn's film of Twelfth Night
Henry V, both Olivier's and Branagh's, although I'm more partial to Branagh's

And several films based on the plays:
Forbidden Planet
Zeffirelli's The Taming of the Shrew wit Burton and Taylor
Benjamin Britten's operatic version of A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Peter Hall

Vixdad ordered a hamburger which was huge and came with tomato, onion, lettuce fries and a really nice homemade brioche bun. I had the Salisbury steak which was nice but the accompanying mashed and carrots were cold We each got the mixed berry pie slice to go

My favorite SHAKESPEARE onstage experience was A Comedy of Errors set in the wild west that DePauw did last year......

I like a lot of films.....there is a futuristic RICHARD III and Ethan Hawke's HAMLET.....and ROMEO & JULIET from the 60's.....
