Say, from whence you owe this strange intelligence? If the play's the thing, then let me, New Yorker, give you but one reason to visit New Jersey next year.

 

For, by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes -- to the Two River Theater Co. in Red Bank, New Jersey!

 

MACBETH: January 15 - February 3, 2008

 

"Obie and Emmy Award-winner Teller (of Penn & Teller) teams with TRTC Artistic Director Aaron Posner to reimagine Macbeth as a startling, supernatural horror show. Bloody, chilling, and hallucinatory, it will draw you inside the twisted minds of the theater's most celebrated husband-and-wife murder team. A breathtaking grand guignol take on Shakespeare's darkest tragedy."

 

"Teller is an extraordinary magician...the sort of magician who can invent shadows."

That does sound interesting! Thanks--I love P&T's Showtime series, Bulls*t.

This paper hath a pleasant seat; the reviews

Nimbly and sweetly recommend themselves

Unto our gentle senses.

Their Vegas show is pretty neat, too. And Teller's (the shorter, quieter one of the pair) New York Times book reviews, articles, and NPR broadcast appearances are always erudite and fascinating.

One of these days, I want to take a 2-week long trip to NYC, just to catch a handful of plays, both on and off Broadway. I am starting to find the time to see some in San Francisco (ACT has been hugely popular and active for many, many years here), but there's nothing like seeing one in NYC...or so I've been told!

The Greenwood cemetary.

A ferry boat ride.

The Brooklyn Museum and the others.

Lincoln Center.

Fairway.

The NYSE.

The Empire State building.

Rockefeller Center.

Fifth Avenue.

Tiffany.

The Cloisters.

Trinity Church and the grave yard.

St. Patty's

 

And, of course, there is ME!

 

Bring lots of money!
