Fun! High tailed over to Sava’s and got the CD and his studio work very nice. They announced the CD give away from stage in two languages for those fussy people who did not think to bring ear plugs. Did you ever think that Europe has computers and electric guitars now…

After the idiosyncratically brilliant screenplay of *In Bruges,* I expected much, perhaps too much… but even without those expectations, I would respond to this production with ambivalence, at best. In fact I came close to walking out of it in the first act, which I cannot be said to consider very often at a major play production. True, the dark, mean comedy is good, but is it enough to carry a play? When it worked best it seemed to be working as a series of skits–not enough to merit an international tour. And the humor was based on such broad, almost embarrassing self-exoticization, I found it barely tolerable. I really am interested in knowing whether I’m really so alone in finding the whole thing more distasteful than anything else. Sorry.
