I was just thinking of her yesterday and saying to a friend I hoped she would be back soon. One of the greatest stage actresses working today, I'm thrilled!!!!!!

Kathleen Turner? As a recovering alcoholic nun? From the team that brought us Looped?

CAMP HEAVEN!

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

This sounds about as gay-friendly as Adam Lambert wearing a Bob Mackie gown while doing a medley of Liberace's greatest hits on Rosie's family cruise.

This article is written kind of weirdly. Kathleen Turner has already scheduled her return to the stage. She is appearing in a world premiere play about the columnist and author Molly Ivins in Philadelphia starting next month.

I'm more anxious to see the performance she gives at the stage door. She was so outright nasty to people (not me) when I saw her after "The Graduate."

And I thought it couldn't get much campier than "Looped".

Kathleen Turner already has returned to the stage since The Graduate. She was in Charles Busch's play The Third Story in 2008.

And VIRGINIA WOOLF.

And she directed CRIMES OF THE HEART.

She was actually very sweet at the stage door of "Virginia Woolf."

Kathleen Turner is one of the worlds sweetest women to her fans at the stage door. I won't have her name dragged through the mud. I luvs her.

Anyone in the Hartford area plan on seeing this?

The Overture is part of the show, people. Please shut your pie hole.

It opened last week. A vast improvement over Looped. The part is tailor-made for Turner, with Michael Berresse (as a priest!) and Evan Jonigkeit as a hustler/drug addict rounding out the cast to make for a very compelling ensemble. Well worth the trip.

How can the St. Louis Rep. Theatre claim their production starting October 13 is a "World Premier" when the Hartford TheatreWorks production which began July 2 is also referred to as a "World Premier"?

Good question. A world premier is a world premier, and this one was in CT.
