Meant to write on Sunday after seeing the picture Saturday night-9:30
screening, sold out, as were the two preceding screenings. Loved the
movie-full of charm and smitten with Paris. Most fun out at the movies
in a long while. Congratulations, Michael. xxxm

Cher Michel,
Felicitations! Former French major here cannot wait to see your movie.
One of the things I admire in you, Michael, is that you love movies and the people who make them so much that, notwithstanding all the players' foibles and all the stories, some of which you share, your admiration and support of them just shines through. I think you are full of love.
Big kiss,
Marie

Owen is far better with Woody's lines. He's a natural at playing a lost soul. From the comments here today, this seem to be a state he understands well.

Yes, happy that Michael Is involved with this project, which all the
early returns say is going to be a critical success. I was impressed
but unmoved by Branagh's technical virtuosity in "Celebrity" in
channeling Woody Allen. Casting Wilson at the outset means you're
necessarily going to get something different from what Allen himself
or Branagh-playing-Allen would give you.

The future of medicine, today.
Dear folks, I'm wondering if one or more of you could put me up in Austin in
early June when I'm out there for Ariel's high-school graduation. Lots of
relatives visiting, so trying to minimize home family stress. Any reasonable
offer (and some pretty unreasonable ones) will be considered.
Ariel, in case you haven't heard, has decided to go to college at some state
school in Iowa. Some scholarship or something.

Dear Winedale Friends,
Wanted to get the word to you about a production of Love's Labour's Lost
that I've directed for Austin Shakespeare that opens this weekend. It runs
through May 29, Thursdays through Sundays (except Mother's Day), 8pm, at the
Hillside Theatre in Zilker Park. I had a blast putting the show together,
and I'm really proud of the actors, who took my very specific concept for
the show and ran with it. Warning to anyone allergic to conceptual takes:
It's set on the Southern California coast in 1963 and very deliberately
evokes the pop culture of the day.
LLL was one of the plays we did my first summer at Winedale back in '78, and
it was my first encounter with the play. I played Nathaniel, the parish
curate, and in a bit of cosmic whimsy, the actor playing that role in the
current production has a conflict with the last performance, so I'll be
stepping back into the role after 33 years. Here's hoping I manage it with a
little more grace than my first turn.
Anyway, I invite everyone who's in the vicinity this month to drop by. And
if you need any further incentive, it's free, and it's under the stars.
All the best,
Robert
