"Rage, Rage...."
Useful, purgative, truthful healing â€" will only
come from rage, honest moral rage at the
stupidities, lies, and fuckings-over
of the princes in power.
Arthur Meiselman
"Cabbages and Kings"
They babble. Incessantly. Text messages and
emails and voices into little mobiles stuck in
their ears and blogs and twitters and facebooks
and youtubes and newscasts and talk shows.
Nathan Thomas
"What Makes A Good Play or A Play Good?"
The question of what makes for a good play has
been much on my mind this winter and spring.
With my company of novice actors,
the question of material is ever-present.
Les Marcott
"Astral Weeks Revisited"
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Live at the
Hollywood Bowl - his latest effort revisits one
of the most revered recordings
in the history of rock/pop.
Claudine Jones
"Money, Power and Sex"
I see a cloud of thick blonde hair, a bright
pink, peek-a-boo blouse showing lots of arm. A
call-girl? Yikes. Then we hear the guy. They're
on a first date; met online. He's cooing, he's
booming, he knows everything and he's going to
tell her all of it.
