A Quiet, Lazy, Rain-filled Day
Jul. 13th, 2004 04:12 pmI stayed up kinda late last night and didn't get called in to work today. Slept late, meant to try to go to church, didn't make it. Did a bunch of little things around the apartment like hand-washing lingerie and watering plants. Tonight I'm going to send out the second batch of postcards to CDs and agents, letting them know about Trojan Women.
Speaking of which, Lettie Ferrer came to see the show Sunday night. I said hello to her before the show but forgot completely that she was there afterward so never got to hear what she thought. But she sent me an email this morning, basically saying I'd done a good job on a very difficult play. But she said she thought the heels were too anachronistic. And then apologized if I felt she was out of line. I've been iffy on the heels myself, although I didn't think they were that anachronistic--it's a little difficult to act in such high heels. But I want some height--I will admit I'm a little self-conscious playing Helen when I'm so small, and I worry that a review is going to comment on that. Although clearly what I should worry about is a reviewer not connecting at all with what I'm doing. That depresses me--I really don't see Helen as that unsympathetic, and honestly thought I was telling her story. And, sorry to say, I do not agree with his take on Julie's performance (or, needless to say, Nora's).
Ah well. At least Tom and Tracy got good notices. Good for them.
