Updated Update
My rug has finally arrived. I may breathe again.
In weekend news, Duncan, Goatboy and I went downtown to see Jason Liebman (my Orlando) in the Gorilla Rep 5-person version of Henry V, called The Henry 5. They perform it in Washington Square Park, throwing lights onto different spaces and the audience has to scurry over to see the scene. Jason was excellent, playing many different parts, including Chorus, the French envoy and Alice. (Alice? Katherine's lady.) The one girl was dreadful, waaaay too presentational and smiled on every damn line, including all through the Hostess's monologue about Falstaff's death. Her intonations were odd too--her voice kept rising on inappropriate lines, until I finally remembered of whom she reminded me--"California will be a sight for THESE weary eyes." The two middle guys (as I thought of them--not the one lead and not Jason) were pretty good. One guy looked like Russell Crowe but with longer, wavier hair. Henry was hot. Shouty but hot. Duncan did an hilarious imitation of him.
Deliciously, Jason told me yesterday that Henry said something very complimentary about me when he spotted me talking with Jason after the show. Hee hee. I'M a MOVIE STAR!!! Henry V said so.
