I was thinking of making the trip down there, now it's looking like an absolute must. WOW!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
WeeThomas 2 - when I went for a weekend a few summers ago stayed at The Williams Inn which is located basically next door to the theater. The "Inn" was kinda run down and not quaint more motel like. Porches located in North Adams (15min away) looked really cute.
Why did Ambrose depart? Jesus, how long do we have to wait to see her back on stage? The Deadline.com article makes it sound like the plan is to transfer this to Broadway if it's successful.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
I assume I'm not alone in thinking this new pair is much more promising than the original. And that's nothing against Pine or Ambrose, but damn I love Arianda and Rockwell as actors and really hope they are able to bring this to Broadway, since I can't get to Williamstown this summer!
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
