major 'vice'. Please don't forget I am here and would love, love, love
to see you. Glad to report on anything you're curious about.

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
