As much as I love GREY GARDENS, see COMPANY!!

It's worth your time. You will never see anything like it.

GREY will be done elsewhere (albeit not with Christine or Mary E), but COMPANY will never be done THIS way again. It's a must, if you can't see both.

If you can see SPRING do that!!

NOT The Apple Tree.

Go with either GREY GARDENS or COMPANY.

"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
