After the disappointment of Matilda not winning best musical st this years Tonys.
We are taking our revenge and bombarding Broadway with no less than 4 Shakespeare plays (Romeo and Juliet, Twelve Night, Richard III and a possible Macbeth) this fall and also if you don't feel punished enough, we are going to hit you with 2 Harold Pinter plays, (No Mans Land and Betrayed) and then if that is not enough we will complete the torture by hitting you with The Wimslow Boy by Terence Rattigan.
Enjoy x

Posted: 6/11/13 at 4:20pmHow about a compromise? A play about the theory put forth by an American writer that Queen Elizabeth I was a man in drag.
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.

Posted: 6/11/13 at 5:18pmIf this is the penance to be paid for KINKY BOOTS defeating MATILDA, this Anglophile over here will be more than happy to acquiesce.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Posted: 6/11/13 at 9:53pmIf the Brits could only learn to dance. Several years ago, I saw Company in London. It was a wonderful production, except they cut the Tick Tock dance.

No Pinter play, CPD?
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's?
