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 All’s Well’s That Ends Well. I always disliked that play and it’s coming to Central Park this month. I will give the play another chance.
I agree Wim’s movie about Pina Bausch is wonderful. Very few people in America know her work. Our Almodovar movie TALK TO HER had her group’s 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

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
