Desire Under the Elms and American Hwangap
May 20th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
I was very disappointed to hear that Desire Under the Elms is closing early. I thought that the first 5 minutes, with two brothers doing hard farm work, hauling stones, gutting a pig, while stones were hung perilously all around them, was one of the more exciting, visceral theatrical experiences I’ve seen in awhile. I got discount tickets to see it with my sister during previews. If you can get cheap tickets, I say it’s worth the coin.
But, definitely don’t miss Lloyd Suh’s American Hwangap, at the Wild Project right now. Like, go right now.
Oh, the holidays…

The Vampire Cowboys are very funny people. This is their Holiday card.
I think in these times, I need to laugh more than anything. That and brain candy. I am 199 pages into Chuck Klosterman’s Killing Yourself to Live: A True Story. He is traveling to the sites of the demise of great (and not so great) rock stars. I probably shouldn’t find this to be candy, but I do. I have to buy a new copy because I had to give mine as a stolen gift for the Ma-Yi Writers Lab’s 2008 Yankee trade. We could only use stolen gifts. I stole it from my friend Lloyd. Sorry, Lloyd.
In these times it’s hard to know what to get people for the holidays too. I was just given a Trader Joe’s gift card, which I think I’m very grateful for. I know I’ll be eating. Well. Thank you, L&M.
