Larry's Thoughts on Sleeping in Tomorrow

[ceebeegee]

Just had a nice long warm convo with Larry. He's so cool. We talked a bit about Sleeping in Tomorrow--we plan to have a longer discussion about it later but he said one thing he liked about Duncan's plays was how ambitious they were. He thought I did an excellent job directing it, especially considering what an eclectic cast (in terms of talent) I had, and he said he thought I integrated the universes very well. Frankly, that kind of praise from Larry makes me very happy; I've been depressed about this play, thinking I'd had such a good record and then one bad actor ruined it. Maybe it was good after all--I can't tell because I didn't watch it after it went up, and the few times I watched scenes, I couldn't see the forest for the Ehud-hatred. Anyway, Larry specifically cited Sue, Sami and Jason as being excellent. Yay! And he said while watching Lauren, that he thought that should've been my part; he didn't think Lauren had the dimension.

He said how proud he was of me, that I was very accomplished. I mean...damn. This guy buys and sells the flippin' world, and he thinks I'm accomplished. Mmm...warm fuzzy feeling emanating. Imagine Tatia lying across my chest right about now. Rrrrr....

I think you can (and should) be very proud of the play. The audience only saw what Ehud presented (a handsome actor with a strange accent who was all right, but wasn't really up to the level of the rest of the cast), and not what we know he is (evil).

Everyone loves Sue, Sami and Jason. We should definitely have you play Berenice the next time it goes up.

Glad to hear Larry liked the play. I'd like to hear what he has to say at your in-depth discussion.

Thanks for the kind words. And I'd love to play Berenice. I'd like to get my hands on that role.
