Actually, Bergman's film was loosely based on "Midsummer." He's right.

Kelli's Return to South Pacific Aug 11
2010, 11:00:45 AM
I saw the performance last night. I'm still in rapture (it was my first time seeing this production--this work of art).
Kelli was great--there might have been a couple moments here and there where a tiny bit of rust had to be knocked off, but barely. I was struck by not only how beautifully she sang the score, but by what a damn fine actress she is. She is entirely honest to the character and the part. There is no showboating. She just gives herself over to the text. Watching her

re: Who influenced David Mamet Aug 16
2009, 09:46:46 AM
While Odetts was a big influence, the common assumption is that the greats of "the Method" were as well. In an interview in the 70's Mamet made some quote about writing for method actors, but he has since gone on to deplore that kind of methodology. Look to the actors like Bill Macy who helped him develop the technique he teaches at the Atlantic. Those early actors he worked with very much helped him develop his voice.
I recently directed "Jolly" from his "Old Neighborhood" trilogy a

Whoa whoa whoa, back off my friends.
This young man has a different outlook at life and theatre than you do, but it is a commonly held belief.
Let us welcome him to theatre, especially a play. Let us discuss cultural trends that lead the average person to think theatre isn't manly.
Let's not attack this young man. Let's be grown-ups and have true conversation. Attacking this young man via message board is ineffective.

I could be mistaken, but I believe Rosie said on her blog that there is a chance of a transfer and that, if it did, she'd be along for the ride.

McNally has a wonderful short play called "Andre's Mother." It's absolutely beautiful.
I directed a production of it last December.

re: Is Troika's Evita Tour worth seeing? Feb 2
2008, 10:05:25 PM
After seeing this production, a friend of mine referred to it as "Thoroughly Modern Evita." That was an accurate assertion.
As far as the Hal Prince staging, it was worth seeing as a reminder of how briliant it once was. You can see the creativity behind it, but it has grown stale with time.
I had to present on the Deadly Theatre portrayed in Peter Brook's book THE EMPTY SPACE a day after seeing this show and it proved to be a great example.

"What'll I Do?" is such a beautiful song. I discovered it just recently when Meryl Streep and Garrison Keillor sang it on the Great Performances Prairie Home Companion and I fell in love. That song just haunted me.

Alright, it's time to come clean.
I know StageRage.
Sure, he may have difficulties with the English language and he may have personally given me the Wicked rant far more times than I can remember, without actually seeing the show mind you, but, when all is said and done, he is a decent human being who loves the theatre community.
A decent human being who will probably kill me for telling you all that he's never seen the show.
He also did start this thread just
