Corrupt government, hypocrisy, abuse of power, adultery, murder, the death penalty, acts of vengeance, violence and vigilantism–Jacobean tragedy, or the headlines of The New York Times? This mesmerizing thriller is a searing examination of our social need for justice and our animal desire for vengeance. Part black comedy, part social satire, it’s a gleefully macabre plot-twisting blender full of Shakespeare and the Jacobeans’ greatest hits.
We were thrilled to reunite some of the company of artists that brought this play to life with our 2005 Off-Broadway production for this livestream benefit occasion. This benefit reading will featured Cecil Baldwin | Jason C. Brown | Denis Butkus | Geraint Wyn Davies | Saudia Davis | Ryan Farley | Ryan Garbayo | Claire Lautier | Anthony Michael Martinez | Paul Niebanck | Howard Overshown | Petronia Paley | Naomi Peters | Matthew Rauch | Russell Salmon | Derek Smith | Chauncy Thomas | Yaegel Welch. Each zoomed in from wherever they are practicing social distancing. Directed by Jesse Berger, the event included original music composed by Daniel Levy, visual and costume design by Tony Award winner Clint Ramos & Rodrigo Muñoz, fight direction by J. David Brimmer, and choreography by Tracy Bersley.
I'm so stressed out and tired of the things in my life that I can't change. If I had an even slightly supportive family my life would be so different. I'm resentful and burned out and I have wonderful friends but I don't have the support system I need. And knowing that my mother KNEW how tough my situation is and made the choice to leave everything to the guy she pushed me out of her life to be with just wrings me out.
My cousin sent me a one line email this morning telling me our grandmother died last Thursday and was buried on Sunday.
WTF my family.
WTF my family.
So, um, my birthday is coming up (Oct 6th) and if anyone wants to shoot a little into my PayPal to help me get that memorial tattoo for my mom, I wouldn’t say no.
I didn't post it here yet - my mother passed away Wednesday night.
So I figured I should get a tattoo. It was helpful for me when I got tattoos when Molly, Hecate, and Anya each passed. And I realized right away what I should get. This is an illustration from the book DAVID AND THE PHOENIX. It was a book my mother had loved as a kid, and when I was a kid she started reading it to me one night - but the place where she stopped was a cliffhanger. When I protested, she said that I was learning to read (I think I was 5 or 6?), if I wanted more I could read it myself.
So I did. I finished the book. And she never read to me again.
This picture is from the exact cliffhanger spot where she stopped.
