[Jrand74]

[Jrand74]

Nice review MR BK!

I'm off to City Center.  Laundry is finished and semi-put away.

[John G.]

DR John G, I believe A View From the Bridge is a long one-act.  Didn't it premiere with A Memory of Two Mondays?

It's another of the Arthur Miller smug middle class plays I detest.  He wants to write a Greek tragedy, and he doesn't or can't shock his audience.  If he were the fearless Tennessee Williams, Catherine would have been Eddie's daughter and not his niece.

As I said, I can't remember which are three acts or not. But I saw a powerful production in Albany years ago. Unlike A Memory of Two Monday's, which I didn't care for.

Joseph Bologna has died.

Excellent vibes and xylophones for Tuesday!

DITTO!

DR vixmom, when DR johnG mentioned seeing Lady Macbeth, my first reaction was, my evil sister-in-law is in Louisville?

So did I 😁

[Jane]

I propped the pillow up high last night and slept soundly until later 6:15 when the loud sound of either a car alarm or a car backing up noise woke us up.  It went on for a long time, other noises as well. 

[Jane]

I did not bring warm enough clothes for the coast.   I might have to buy something today 😊

[Ginny]

Monday afternoon greetings!  My sister, her daughter, and I vacated Mom's room and turned in the key about an hour ago.  Meeting with Rev. Amy soon and then with Melody, the caterer for Wednesday's lunch.  That event will take place here at our house, but I don't want to do the cooking.

Oh, darn!

My thought exactly.

I have been named a member of the Fellowship of the Order of Omnium (FOO) by the online Anthony Trollope Society because I have read the author's 47 novels and miscellaneous travel books, short stories and more. FOO doesn't have the same ring after one's name that Esq. does, but I guess I'm just a FOO bird.

The only three act play I  ever saw was Noises Off which wasn't from the 50's.

Ditto.  Actually, I've been in Noises Off, I've never actually seen it from the audience.

I found a best I am going back for.  We stopped in the hotel room and I removed a couple of layers that chill make the vest less bulky

[Jane]

Sorry, I can't fix the last post using my phone

[Jane]

This morning we found a delicious oat bran raisin bagel. We plan to return for more tomorrow before we leave.

[Jane]

Keith said the noise this morning was a septic removal truck at the business next door. You would think it would not be permitted so early.

[Jane]

Congratulations John

I'm up, I'm up - around six-and-a-half hours of sleep.

Most plays of the 1950s were three acts, whether comedies or dramas.  I find it hard to believe that Shayne has never seen one.  Dial 'M' is a perfect example, along with Tea and Sympathy, The Seven Year Itch, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter (The Bad Seed is a two-act play), A Raisin in the Sun, Bus Stop, Born Yesterday, No Time for Sergeants, and The Rainmaker, to mention a handful off the top of my head.

I have seen The Rainmaker.  There was a very good local production quite a few years ago.  I kept thinking that as good as it was, I wanted to hear the songs from 110 in the Shade...but I'm sure that that was just me.

Speedy Joshie has made all my corrections to the score before I even got home from City Center.  I'm starting to get excited about this piece.
