O.M.G. Kristin Scott Thomas in ANYTHING must be worth seeing. And Betrayal
deserves a revival. Michael, go for it with zero reviews!
Yours about to shower off blood from black-fly bites,

Terry,
So glad you had that experience with All¹s Well¹s That Ends Well. I always
disliked that play and it¹s coming to Central Park this month. I will give
the play another chance.
I agree Wim¹s movie about Pina Bausch is wonderful. Very few people in
America know her work. Our Almodovar movie TALK TO HER had her group¹s
dance pieces as a motif in the movie. You should check that out if you
have not seen it.
Am also going to London next month. What do you hear about Kristin Scott
Thomas in Betrayal by Pinter?
Thinking about getting tix.
With love, m

Have heard wonderful things about By the WAy, Meet Vera Stark. Here in
London just saw a lovely All's Well that Ends Well at the Globe. Cant
understand why I just flat out hated that play when I was younger. Posted
just such reflection on Facebook and started a facebook correspondence with
Casey Caldwell of Susan's Winedale class. He's working at the Globe this
summer. Will see Much Ado there tomorrow and hope to meet with Casey some
other time this week.
Also saw a wonderful fringe group doing a piece at the SoHo Theater called
Operation Greenfield --three women, one man doing a charming, funny, tender
rendition of teenagers trying to start a Christian rock band. I hate all
things religious but this was more in the vein of the Book of Mormon ala
South Park.
Early on this visit Donna and I had the pleasure of seeing the Wim Winders
tribute to Pina Bausch in 3 D with Gail (Palermo) McDonald. It goes
without saying the company was wonderful and so was the film. Pina Bausch
was so boney and tall and luminous and funny. I've alway loved her dance
pieces (I saw CAfe Muller years and years ago in NY) but found myself just
adoring her. She was above all a very kind soul.
LOve to you all,
Terry

Robert,
I wholeheartedly agree with you on Jerusalem (wow), but except for the
impressive use and mood created by the production design and Bernard Hermann
music (you really felt like you were walking through a haunted house and
creepy forest), I grew tired of it. I might also add I am the worst
audience member for a site specific theatre piece like this. I fell down a
flight of stairs during a torrid sex scene on a canopied bed (which caused
laughter as opposed to any sympathy from my fellow theatergoers; and after
an hour I felt like I was in a prison, and all I can say is, the sign said
EXIT and, pushing that door, I set off the fire alarm. Keep Barker in his
orchestra seat when he goes to the theater or you enter at your own risk.
Other recommendations:
Frances McDormand in Good People really knocked me out as did the play.
I also think BY THE WAY, MEET VERA STARK is a very important historical play
about racism in America as it relates to celebrity, intellectuals and
entertainment. The actors are super fine especially Sanaa Lathan. See this
if you can. Lynn Nottage is a major playwright.
All the best, m

Subject: [Weeklong-l] New York City theater
For those of you who live in or may be visiting New York City this summer, I
can share two hearty recommendations with you: (1) Sleep No More (Punchdrunk
Theatre Company), an extraordinary production inspired by, among other
things, Macbeth, and (2) Jerusalem, in which Mark Rylance portrays a
character almost as Falstaffian as Falstaff.
Best,
Bob
