This is the third play-to-film news in three days consecutively! First AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY then CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF - which play will be tomorrow?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I saw the ghastly revival of MASTER HAROLD that Price "directed" with Danny Glover. I can't see how on earth this is a good idea. Is Glover backing it himself?

I had the great good luck to see the original production, with Price as Harold, and it was one of the highpoints of my theatregoing life. How Price could have so completely botched that revival is a complete mystery to me.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I think it is wonderful material, just a bad director and a miscast star.
