Followup to Ho. Lee. Shit.

Julie told me yesterday that Psycho Susan (Ms. Hyde) called her on Christmas to beg to be let back into the show. But she just wanted to do the Richard III scene. Julie said no, of course, and Susan asked why. I think Susan may be some kind of textbook narcissist--she honestly didn't think she'd done anything wrong, or worth staying fired for. It was all about her, what had been done to her. Julie reminded her of what she'd said and done and she launched into another diatribe about Tracy and how inexperienced she was and she wasn't ready to perform professionally yet (a complete crock of shit, may I add--I would cast Tracy in a heartbeat, she's talented and has a great attitude) and how "disrespectful and arrogant" she and I were. It's interesting which terms Susan picked to criticize us--she seems to be emphasizing things like rank and experience and respect, and it sounds as though she thinks, or wants us to think, that these are more important than actually learning your lines, and being talented (again, I will say I think Susan is talented, but her issues were really getting in the way of it). It's basically an argument against meritocracy.
Ugh. Glad we're rid of her.
