All are invited to make suggestions for plays they would like to read with the play-reading group. I will make the weekly selection from the suggestions provided, until there is a mutiny. |

Just finished reading "Back Back Back" also by Itamar Moses. Good playwright; check him out.

Just starting reading "Bach at Leipzig" by Itamar Moses. Very funny. Very clever. Very Gelbart-esque.

I nominate THE BOYS NEXT DOOR by Tom Griffin..
Next week's pick (for discussion July 7) is MORNINGS AT SEVEN.
The week after that I didn't decide, yet. We can make it THE BOYS NEXT DOOR, if you like.
The week of July 21 is the Sam Shepard play WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN (A CHEF'S FABLE) suggested by Irwin Hahn. That gives people who want to join the discussion a little time to get the script.
Then we'll just gradually work our way through all the suggestions that have been made in this string. Okay? |

For a Female Pick...
"Ladies of the Corridor" by Dorothy Parker.
Which may be revived by The Bank Street Theater come this fall.

James, thanks. We have ART on the schedule to discuss next week, and I'm planning to pick MORNINGS AT SEVEN for the week after.
RE: Richard Greenberg, I had the pleasure of participating in a staged reading of his AMERICAN PLAN last fall. His work is beautifully layered in that, just like an onion. |

"Huis Clos" - American premiere was at the Biltmore Theatre in 1946.
A little JPS never hurt no one - although for Don's sanity we should wait until Swing is over. I can't imagine delving inot "Hell is other people" while partnering to jive. That would turn the exsistentialists into absurdists."
Anne - I suggested Richard Greenberg (3 Days of Rain, Eastern Standard) Donald Margulies (Sight Unseen) or John Patrick Shanley (Beggars in the House of Plenty, Four Dogs and a Bone -which some sensible producer should present in their black box series somewhere) All three are very intellectual writers, particularly Greenberg, who handle dialogue well.
Catherine - the more recent revival of Mornings at Seven(2001?)was brilliant. I would vote for Art, which I've tried to read several times now and can't get through it. I would love to hear what others think of that one. |
