Posted: 6/14/13 at 2:36pmGood for the two of them, to engage in such depthful and persuasive dialogue. I think both of them come off as worthy artists and theorists, and the only villain in the piece proves to be the reporter Catie Sullivan who conducted the original interview (and in Mary Zimmerman's view, got so many inflammatory quotes so out of context).

Posted: 6/14/13 at 2:43pmAs someone who's never been to Chicago, it's neat how tight that community is. I love he dropped the name of the coffee shop.

"On Zimmerman’s stage, Asian and Middle Eastern people were never quite people"... that is the problem with most of her work regardless of race. Actors are simply props/set dressing to her.
I am sure Zimmerman has a lot of control over this project, even with the big D involvement. Why not go back to the books, eliminate the interpolated King Louie and give us something new and wonderful and avoid the whole racist scene/character?
PEACE.

Because this production is being staged based on the movie. I Wanna Be Like You would be greatly missed.

PEACE.
