We read Our Town back in 10th grade. I remember writing an essay on the use of Blest Be the Tie that Binds. Don’t remember what I said about it.

It's beautifully cool here today.  Amongst the chores, I think there will be a walk and a nap.

Are you sure you don't have that mixed up with an essay about Frenzy?

We read a lot that year. Sophocles (Oedipus Rex), Shakespeare (Merchant of Venice), Lord of the Flies, A Separate Peace, Little Big Man and Frances Bacon’s essays are all I remember now. But in those English classes, we read at least 20 books a year.

That was the essay for a more private class.

Our high school (not sure which class, I'd have to look it up) did OUR TOWN. That was practically a rite of passage then.

The other play I always remember them doing was PYGMALION.

Maybe it was always the senior class, now that I think about it. But I will have to get out the yearbooks.

We didn't have a theater department in my high school, but we did read Pygmalion, too. Ninth grade. Along with My Fair Lady.

I don't know that I realized until the end credits that News of the World was based on a Paulette Jiles novel. She lives a couple of hours away near Utopia, Texas. Given how accurate details of the area were, it should be no surprise.

Yes, there was extraneous noise coming from someone on the zoom session, like a radio or TV playing. And then the weird echo effect later, but we were winding down then. I agree with DR Elmore that we should have an occasional HHW zoom partay.

Good to see DR Ginny again, and I still forget there’s going to be long hair!  :)

Not as long as it was before I had it cut this past Thursday!

I vote for an HHW Zoom, too.

Better on a weekend or a weeknight for people? Perhaps a weekend afternoon?

In bk's opera survey, he hasn't mentioned Wagner much.

Here is soprano Birgit Nilsson, singing from the Ring, under Solti's baton, with score.
