LONDON 4: Ghosts, Chimerica, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, etc.
Ghosts: It’s Ibsen, of course, and one of my favorites: in my opinion a very difficult play to do for modern audiences, dealing as it does with the sins of the father and a very unscientific venereal disease without a … Continue reading

LONDON 1: Welcome Back
Many years ago, Joan and I were living in northern Vermont, and I was in the early stages of my theatre binge trips to New York. Friends and early pre-internet research persuaded me there might actually be a cheaper way … Continue reading

Here’s a REAL side line. I just found this blog post among my drafts, originally written on April 13, 2012: a year and a half ago. I must have left it in draft form and forgotten to actually … Continue reading
