Ha, more Ore serendipity: Vatican defends Pope Benedict as ardent anti-Nazi

Martin Denton posted part 1 of his interview with the Get S.O.M! producers! Since he asked all three of us the same questions by e-mail, and we didn't check with each other, it has an interesting Rashomon quality.

From metaquotes:

Fairies can travel at Mach 49.

Data and assumptions:

In Act II, Scene 1 of Midsummer Night's Dream, when sent on a mission by Oberon, Puck says that he will "put a girdle round about the earth ( Read more... )

1. I've decided that New York needs an indoor water slide park.

2. My playwright's note for the Thyme of the Season program:

When ceebeegee came to me with the idea of a sequel to Midsummer, we'd intended to do it first as part of one of Spotlight On Production's Halloween Theatre Festivals. Sadly, by the time the play was finished, there wasn't an ( Read more... )

New BroadwayWorld review of the show I saw last night.

Gonna go over to Daffy's on my lunch break and see if I can find some new Long Shorts. I miss my old ones- they really fell apart last year, during Midsummer (not Midsummer's fault- they were just old). My flask also fell apart during that show (Damn Fairies!)- which reminds me I need a new ( Read more... )

Gregg just sent me a holiday card, with, tucked in, a postcard for Artemis' Merchant of Venice. In which he's playing Shylock. (!) Holy carp. Even he's surprised, he writes.
And according to the postcard, Michael (our Demetrius from this Summer's Midsummer) is in it. Really have to go see this, now, if only to marvel at it ( Read more... )

Celia's Shuntiversary party* was pretty neat last night. I found her place without much trouble (she's down in the Village, Where the Streets Have No Numbers), and it was a really nice apartment.

Met her husband Destin, and some of their friends. From the Midsummer cast, Dana, Silas & Sami, neoscribe & Katie, and Darkshiek were all there when I arrived ( Read more... )

I'm on Overheard in New York again!  I was on this train (on the way to Clara's for our Midsummer brush-up), thinking "Oh my god, I have to remember ALL OF THIS".

I've been 5 days with no coffee, but today is my first hung over day without coffee.

Orion just mailed me through MySpace to congratulate me on the Leave it to Sulu- you know, when the show ( Read more... )

Finally, the review of The Wastes of Time from Bob Ost. Susan just E-mailed it to me.

By Bob Ost of truonline:
Almost as satisfying for far different reasons is the tender, compassionate The Wastes of Time by Duncan Pflaster who is truly too gentle a soul for this world of ours*. Still, Pflaster has bravely etched three memorable characters and ( Read more... )

This day my oaths of drinking wine and going to plays are out, and so I do resolve to take a liberty to-day, and then to fall to them again. To the King's Theatre, where we saw "Midsummer's Night's Dream," which I had never seen before, nor shall ever again, for it is the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life. I saw, I confess, ( Read more... )
