Each day the empty space in my head feels better.
Said harpist Susan Jolles and DR Elmore's adopted son's brother Jeremy Clayton are playing in the Jake Gyllenhaal Sunday in the Park With George which opened this evening, and I vow not to let that one slip through my fingers.
I am so happy that THE NEW YORKERS rehearsal was a success!

They are holding a daily lottery for reduced price front row seats for SUNDAY IN THE PARK during previews. Who wouldn't want to see Jake Gyllenhaal from the front row?

Quote from: George on February 23, 2017, 06:52:05 PMAnd now, I'm off to see a play called, Or,. Yes, the comma is part of the title. I want to see it because it's set in the same time as the show that I'm working on (Shakespeare's time) and they share a character, Nell Gwynn, who was a real person. It'll be really interesting to see how this show handles the time and the character. I don't know how historically accurate either show is (and I have no idea what she was really like), but it'll be fun to see this. Be back later.Well, Or, was a fun show. It has a totally different take on the character of Nell, who is bisexual, as is the lead character, Aphra Behn. Here's a brief synopsis that I found online:QuoteAphra Behn is England's first female professional playwright...and a spy. She's just quit the espionage business to write her first play, and she's on deadline when her former lover blazes in with enemies on his heels. To complicate things, the city's hottest actress, Nell Gwynne, is getting awfully friendly, and, for that matter, so is the king—as in Charles II. Set in Restoration England, this playful farce is a rush of mad-cap antics, gender bending, and rollicking intrigue.It has some very farcical moments that I think weren't explored in this production as much as they could've been. The lead actress is a good actress, but she didn't get as frenetic as I think the script would allow (or expect) her to get. The two other actors were quite exuberant in their performances. Overall, a good show and a fun night.

Sorry, George, I missed that on the page turn.
