Act Two went well....we spent a half an hour playing with the device that worked remarkably well.

Some blocking has changed....but that's okay....

DR ELMORE thanks so much for that link.

It will be most helpful.

Tonight during what the director calls "chaos" - everyone is wandering around the stage before the act starts....doing scripted and unscripted things.

I was looking at props. Suddenly Grant - the very handsome young actor came up and started giving me performance notes. I said "WHAT?"....and he kept it up.....I was very perturbed with him and gave him a very hard time.

He had tears in his eyes....and he said: "I'm doing chaos."

I was mortified, his character is the director of Murder At Havisham Manner.....

I finally realized what he was doing. I apologized....but I am going to buy him a nice bag of candy to make up for it.

I have started watching season 1 of a newish procedural from Britain. It's on both BritBox and Amazon Prime.

It is called "Beyond Paradise", and it stars Kris Marshall as a DI who moves to Devon and immediately gets drawn into strange and wonderful human doings that combine dry wit and intelligent writing/plotting.

It is a spin-off of the show "Death in Paradise" in which the character DI Humphrey Goodman was first introduced in that show's third season in 2014 and he played that character until 2017, after which he, the actor, left the show to spend more quality time with his family.

This time, DI Goodman and his fiancee have moved to Devon where he is in an office with two others plus a receptionist named Margo.

I like it. I really like it. The first season seems to be 10 episodes which began airing in February this year.

A second season has been ordered, so it's worth an investment of time if you like British procedurals with an oddly quirky bent.

Is this show scripted, or do they just hand you a suggested plot line and you make it up as you go?

Ah I shall watch for that DR RON PULLIAM it sounds delightful.

Well the "chaos" just has suggested things that the actors talk about...the crew is still working on the set, the actors are looking for a dog that has gone missing, everyone just does general mucking about.

Then the director chases us all offstage so he can give his curtain speech.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #249 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:13:31 PM »

The rest of the show is scripted.

I may need to see this for myself.

Glad to hear that DR JANE got that restaurant straightened out!

It is our favorite Thai restaurant. We really should have returned last week.

There’s a whole disc of extras to Wives and Daughters.

John G. · « **Reply #256 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:31:20 PM »

I loved the series, though the final shot, was a surprise. Molly in trousers? Not likely.

But still a nice touch.

I will look for Beyond Paradise.

“Wendy Rush, the wife of Stockton Rush, the OceanGate chief executive who was piloting the submersible that disappeared Sunday during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, is a descendant of two first-class passengers who died when the ocean liner sank in 1912, archival records show.

Ms. Rush is a great-great-granddaughter of the retailing magnate Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, two of the wealthiest people aboard the Titanic for its first voyage. Mr. Straus, born in 1845, was a co-owner of Macy’s department store.”

Incredible. Just read this in the NY Times.

Jack, I saw The Play That Goes Wrong last December with some friends.

vixmom · « **Reply #260 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:46:09 PM »

We had front row seats

vixmom · « **Reply #261 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:46:44 PM »

One of my friends and I were laughing hysterically throughout, clutching each other and gasping for air

vixmom · « **Reply #262 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:47:51 PM »

After the finale when the cast came out for curtain calls we were still laughing so hard we were literally weak, I was clutching my sides and trying not fall off my chair.

vixmom · « **Reply #263 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:48:22 PM »

One of the actors leaned over and asked if we were OK

vixmom · « **Reply #264 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:48:31 PM »

Which just set us off again

vixmom · « **Reply #265 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:49:28 PM »

Once we could breathe we headed over to the box office where I bought two more tickets for January, the first date I could get the exact same seats

vixmom · « **Reply #266 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:49:41 PM »

I gave them to Vixdad for Christmas

vixmom · « **Reply #267 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:50:22 PM »

I laughed just as hard the second time and Vixdad was also weak with laughter

DR Chas, I meant to mention before that back around the time you were one of this fearless young men in their flying machines I briefly dated a young man with a pilot’s license.

vixmom · « **Reply #269 on:** June 21, 2023, 07:55:52 PM »

He took me up in his little 2 seater plane several times and we flew the length of Long Island
