Has anyone seen the current site-specific performance out in Brooklyn?

It got a decent notice in the Times ...

... but I've not read/heard much else.

I'm a big Eliot fan, and would like to catch this tonight or tomorrow before it closes, but can't muster much enthusiasm from my Other Half for the schlep out to brooklyn. Any words of encouragement?

'A decent notice in the Times'- you can't do too much better than that if it's a non-equity production. I don't think they do it very often around NY, cant remember the last time. There was a film in the 50's with a priest as Becket and Leo McKern as 1 of the knights but I don't know if that's on video. There's a really good audio of the whole play starring Robert Donat you can borrow from NYPL (those are if you don't make it to brooklyn).

I'm the producer of the show, and just wanted to let you know that it was extended through October 10th, so if you didn't catch it Saturday, you still have more chances:
Thurs., Oct. 7 – Sat., Oct. 9, 7:30 pm and Sunday, Oct. 10, 2 pm.
The Church of St. Joseph, 856 Pacific Street, Brooklyn

Check our website for all of the details. Besides the Times review, here are two other links, in case you want to read more:

And, for the record, it is an Equity production.

Thanks for your interest, all!
