timber lake werten baker
i'm not sure what a werten is, but I just read the play LiveWire is doing in April titled The Love of the Nightingale by Timberlake Wertenbaker. she's a great writer and the play is solid as can be. also, very funny. it will be a great show director by Glenn Proud, Artistic Director for LiveWire. the play is truly relevant, though I'm wondering about the ending. the main characters all turn into Birds. it is like the end of Moliere plays where everyone reconciles at the end with dance. i believe there is deeper meaning in this Metamorphosis. I look forward to seeing it in rehearsal and production to find out the rub.
the redraft of A/other Lover is complete and will be read tonight by my stellar actors. we hope to get some great publicity shots for posters, postcards, publicity, etc. look to www.livewirechicago.com for updates.
Studio 60 was quality last night, but I started to see why some people are not watching it. There is a scene when the writer played by Matthew Perry turns to a newly hired writer and asks his opinion on the sketch they are doing. At first the writer says "it's great." Perry's character explains to him that he wasn't hired to blow smoke up his ass; that he was hired to tell him the truth. The writer then says, "you're all over the place." Studio 60 is a bit all over the place. I think if you give it time, it will all come together. Rumor is we are not going to be able to see where it is going. I believe it has been canceled. I hope not. it is really the only smart program on television...network television that is. I have been holding of on getting cable until a few deals I've been working on come to fruition, but if this show is canceled I may have to eat Ramen and get cable. I could always turn off the TV like I've done for years at a time in the past, but it is so readily available to my hermit-like lifestyle. how else will I get any writing done if there isn't someone talking in the background?
bottom line is that I'm not voting today because I don't believe that even with a power swap America will take a turn for the better. it may seem better for a time, but until there are more then two parties and candidates to choose from there is no viable option. some friends tried to convince me that you must vote for the sake of voting and you must vote for the candidate that is best for the people. what do you do if there is no candidate that fits this description. you must choose the lesser of the two evils? that's fucking ridiculous in my opinion. the only real vote I can make is abstaining. it is the only true voice I have. 1 more check for Blue or 1 more chad for Red isn't going to make a difference. Rock the Vote? Vote or Die? Stay the Course? Democrats for Change? They all sound the same to me. black or white? left or right? up or down? one fish two fish red fish blue fish. where's the fish that wants to become an airplane?
i don't approve shit. let alone this message.
