Martha Plimpton = good actress (I saw The False Servant)
Parker Posey = bad actress (I saw HurlyBurly)

I really have to diagree, Middie. Martha is a great actress, but so is Parker. She is the best part of HURLYBURLY, and has been sublime on stage and in films for the past decade.

To each his own, though. I respect your opinion.

IMHO, Parker doesn't have much depth. There's a lot going on, and you sometimes can't NOT look at her (which is, i admit, not a bad quality for an actress to have), but there's no substance.
Martha Plimpton is sublime.

Whatever happened to Martha's mother -- Shelly Plimpton from HAIR? Does she ever come to her daughter's openings?

Does Hurlyburly have a rush policy? I would like to see it some time in the coming weeks. I have no problem purchasing a full price ticket, but if rush is available, I like to take advantage of it.

Anyone stating that Parker Posey is a poor actress is laughable.

I loved Posey in "Hurlyburly", especially in the second act. Plimpton will be great, though.

Also, does this influx of new cast members mean that an extension is possible?
