Love's Labors Lost

[deliasherman]

I have a review of The Nance started for you, but first I HAVE to tell about our adventure tonight.  Because it was a real--if mild--adventure, of the completely unplanned and serendipitous kind, and even while it was happening I didn't quite believe it

If there is Kushner Magic, the theme seems to be Paper: My grandpa Boris somehow making his way safely across war-torn Russia in 1917 without any papers . . . and then, yesterday, those two little tagboard rectangles - I must admit I stared at them for a moment thinking, "What are these things? What does this weird guy want - what's his scam? OH: These are ACTUAL TICKETS! Oh my."

Well, it was our Paper Anniversary. #9. No kidding.

What a perfect story. Happy belated anniversary to you guys.

The Princess is a very peculiar part indeed. The last time I saw LLL, I was most impressed by how she must do a lightning change and express profound emotion in very few words when she gets the bad news about her father. The woman playing the Princess did an amazing job, very self-contained but with voice, expression, and body language conveying that her entire existence had been turned on its head. It's not at all an easy part, as you say.

I love what Ellen said, too (on Facebook, although I just noticed she said more two comments above), about this being your paper anniversary. And that you got physical tickets handed to you - paper - and to see a play, which had been recorded on paper hundreds of years ago - and a program with all the names you need to know to write this wonderful blog (not on paper, but still, a facsimile thereof), also PAPER! It just is so perfect.
