Heard back from Fool For Love and Hamilton today. Fool For Love sent me a cast-signed playbill (no donation request) and Hamilton sent me an unsigned playbill with a letter requesting a minimum $40 donation (that's unusually low considering their popularity) to BC/EFA for a cast-signed playbill. Nice of them to send me an unsigned playbill too instead of just the letter, though.
"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur
