2024.04.21 08:36 MuggsyTheWonderdog A little info re. Jim's Broadway show

Jim's currently on Broadway in Mother Play, and I've seen it, so I figured I'd share some info if anyone was debating whether to go.
The playwright is Paula Vogel, who's won a Pulitzer, but the consensus is that though MP is good, it isn't her best work. Even so, I found it alternately funny, sweet, and heartbreaking, and overall liked it a lot. (Caveat though: if you have a strong bug phobia, maybe avoid it. There's some strobing lights too, if those affect you.)
Jessica Lange performs alongside Jim and Celia Keenan-Bolger, and nearly everyone says the actors are great. (I strongly agree.) They play a dysfunctional family -- mother and her two kids -- and they all had great chemistry. It's based on Vogel's life and she's a lesbian whose beloved brother was gay & died of AIDS. Their Mom is a wild ride & Lange really pulls it off.
It begins in the 1960's, and proceeds through several decades of apartments as they keep getting evicted. The siblings begin as teens and I wondered if that would be weird -- but for me, it wasn't.
Anyway, if you decide to go, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's a limited engagement, ends mid-June, I think.

Mother Play (preview) thoughts!
Hey all! I recently saw a preview of Mother Play during a quick trip to NYC, and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts (cuz I like to yap). Disclaimers: I don't go to NYC often/at all, so this was one of my first bway shows after seeing regional/touring for a while. I went mainly for the cast, specifically Celia Keenan-Bolger, and to see a new Paula Vogel play, so that may affect my opinion. If you wanna talk in detail about any of my thoughts please feel free to; I'm going to try to keep the main post kinda vague and spoiler free

Writing/Directing: I think Paula Vogel made a really nice play that captures the life of this family throughout 5 decades. The majority of it was really good, and I really enjoyed seeing the lives of these three characters. Although the story is a little cliche, I think Vogel wrote some really nice lines and had some new conversations about family, especially at the end. I think my biggest complaint was that I wish I could have gone more in depth with the lives of the characters; the format of skipping through time doesn't really support this, and the stylization/direction also cut into the real drama onstage a little.
Performances: All three performances are obviously very good. Jessica Lange definitely stole the show in the leading role. She was so believable onstage in every moment, portraying both the drama and the comedy perfectly. She is just so captivating and a presence onstage (alsoentrance her was ICONIC). Celia Keenan-Bolger gave, in my opinion, a really good, understated performance. She is one of my favourite actors ever, so I may be biased, but she was wonderful. Jim Parsons' was my least favourite performance: it was still good, but I think it could have been more fleshed out. I think all three will likely get Tony nominations, but wins would be a little harder to get (Sarah Paulson for leading/Kara Young & Stereophonic actors for supporting seem to be more favourites).
Tech: As someone who doesn't know much about tech, I thought the tech was overall great. The set was really creative, using the same set pieces to make up many different apartments that all felt believable. Lighting was also great to make up the different locations and contribute to the stylization, however sometimes the shadows from the hanging lights were a littttleee distracting onstage ?. Sound and costumes were consistent as well.
Experience: The Hayes theatre is really intimate, perfect for a show of this size. I sat in the middle of the mezz, and I thought the seats were really nice (wouldn't really say there are any bad seats). Right now I believe they are only selling hats, but hopefully when they open there will be more merch available. Stagedooring was really chill - only Parsons came out but he was very efficient yet nice while signing everyone's things.
Overall: I enjoyed Mother Play a lot! I would give the play itself a 4/5, but the experience of seeing my favourite actors and everything made the entire thing a 4.5-4.75. I hope this was helpful or entertaining to anyone reading, please comment with your own thoughts or questions!

Recommending books based on “evermore”
Hi again! This is a follow-up to my earlier post of book recommendations for every track of folklore — I wanted to include evermore but the post just got too long. I already explained my guidelines for picking books there, so let’s just jump into it :)
To reiterate, though, I’d love to hear if any other readers have their own recommendations to share! Or, if you’ve read any of my picks, I’d be curious to know what you think of my track pairings…

willow

And if it was an open-shut case / I never would've known from that look on your face / Lost in your current like a priceless wine
https://preview.redd.it/hfuze9muipuc1.jpg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b209510248dbad439d51d64e6c5395fd06bf9e64
Recommendation: Possession: A Romance by A.S. Byatt
Winner of England's Booker Prize and the literary sensation of the year, Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once an intellectual mystery and a triumphant love story. It is the tale of a pair of young scholars researching the lives of two Victorian poets. As they uncover their letters, journals and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire - from spiritualist séances to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany - what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.
Similarities: Romantic, magical, dark academia vibes
Review: One of the most beautiful novels I’ve ever read, both in terms of prose and imagery. Nothing is banal; everything is romantic and atmospheric, even down to the use of Xerox machines—it was published in 1990 so even the technology is somewhat delightfully antiquated—and discussions of the technicalities of English copyright law. It’s a Romance in every sense of the word.
Honorable mention(s):
  • The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern: Absolutely gorgeous and atmospheric—underground labyrinths filled with books and seas of honey and the speechless acolytes of secret societies and a star-crossed romance between the sun and moon—but extraordinarily slow with a plot that’s difficult to follow and characters who are underdeveloped and bland (a theme with Morgenstern?). Still really liked it!

champagne problems

Your heart was glass, I dropped it
https://preview.redd.it/sdi0beevipuc1.jpg?width=348&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9f3d818deffaffb62de8b1f75b546277c191c5f
Recommendation: I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle"—and the heart of the reader—in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments.
Similarities: Understated, quiet, heartbroken, melancholic, regretful, apologetic, “rich people problems”
Review: (This novel has multiple relationships so I don’t think knowing there’s a ~rocky~ romance will ruin any surprises.) It’s charming, cozy, and incredibly quirky—think Anne of Green Gables, Little Women and Gilmore Girls rolled into one. It’s generally lighthearted thanks to the precocious narrator, but has some melodrama. I didn’t quite connect with it emotionally (I think I’m too old, lol), but had a lot of fun.
Honorable mention(s):
  • Persuasion by Jane Austen: The rejected proposal is crucial to the story, but it happens off-page before the novel begins. I really disliked Persuasion when I first read it, but on reread something clicked and I fell in love.

gold rush

At dinner parties / I call you out on your contrarian shit
https://preview.redd.it/xkxil63wipuc1.jpg?width=293&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce4a2fe05908a74b8970ab30be89583b9f3521cd
Recommendation: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
Similarities: Golden, whirling, limerence, infatuation, a little bit snarky
Review: It’s as great as everyone says it is; in fact, it might just be a perfect novel. I do think Austen can be a bit difficult, though, due to her reliance on readers’ preexisting understanding Regency social conventions….just know that Miss Lastname refers to the eldest unmarried sister, while the younger ones go by Miss Firstname, and you should be able to follow along just fine. The chemistry is electrifying. (As a ~reader~ I know I’m supposed to hate the 2005 movie in favor of the BBC miniseries but sorry, I don’t, if I want to spend 6 hours with the story I’ll just reread the novel…otherwise give me Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen!)
Honorable mention(s):
  • Villette by Charlotte Brontë: And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea / 'Cause it could never be… Actually a much better, near-perfect fit for gold rush, but I’m saving the novel for a different track.
  • North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell: An equally good fit as it’s often compared to Pride and Prejudice due to obvious parallels. I actually think it’s much more approachable than Austen, and has more of a YA feel thanks to a heavier dose of melodrama.
  • Persuasion by Jane Austen: I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush / I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch… But Anne is much too soft-spoken to call anyone out, and Wentworth is too much a gentleman to be contrarian.

’tis the damn season

And the road not taken looks real good now
https://preview.redd.it/gqxspbqwipuc1.jpg?width=319&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ea585d87c6dbeaf35e3f5d4786c8514541f6a88
Recommendation: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Nora's life has been going from bad to worse. Then at the stroke of midnight on her last day on earth she finds herself transported to a library. There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived. Which raises the ultimate question: with infinite choices, what is the best way to live?
Similarities: Bittersweet nostalgia, quiet, introspective, regretful, speculative, contemporary, slightly flippant
Review: I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with a recommendation for this one. None of the books I loved that might have been candidates for this track based on thematic similarities felt contemporary (Persuasion) or youthful (The Remains of the Day) enough to fit. The Midnight Library is a quick and easy read, but since reading it a few years ago I’ve soured on it considerably because it is just so shallow and twee. (Apologies to anyone who liked the book; I’ve since realized that this sort of book-club fiction is just not my genre.) I was definitely entertained at the time, though!

tolerate it

But what would you do if I / break free and leave us in ruins?
https://preview.redd.it/zzdvzb3xipuc1.jpg?width=306&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=970ef7fc0a35721759ed9a64aa727429be3151e2
Recommendation: The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim
A discreet advertisement in The Times, addressed to "those who appreciate wisteria and sunshine," is the prelude to a revelatory month for four very different women. High above a bay on the Italian Riviera stands the medieval castle San Salvatore. Beckoned to this haven are Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs. Arbuthnot, Mrs. Fisher, and Lady Caroline Dester, each quietly craving a respite. Lulled by the gentle spirit of the Mediterranean, they gradually shed their public skins, discovering a harmony each of them has longed for but none has ever known. First published in 1922, this captivating novel is imbued with the descriptive power and lighthearted irreverence for which Elizabeth von Arnim is renowned.
Similarities: Quiet, emotional, delicate, beautiful; focus on overlooked and unappreciated women; tolerate it is much sadder than this novel, though
Review: Lives up to its title! Without much of a plot, it meanders through the lives of four very different women, their troubled relationships, and their blossoming friendships with one another as they experience the beauty of April in a picturesque Italian castle. Highly recommend if you want atmosphere and quiet character studies. (Right now’s the perfect time to read it!)
Honorable mention(s):
  • Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier: Duh! Only I paired it with the lakes instead.
  • Vera by Elizabeth von Arnim: Supposedly the inspiration for Rebecca, but Wemyss is the opposite of uninterested as he’s a total narcissist. There’s a lot to think about but it’s a bit boring, and I don’t love the writing style
  • Middlemarch by George Eliot: Eliot is hard to get into and not quite as emotional and tolerate it, but Middlemarch is a masterpiece.

no body, no crime (feat. HAIM)

No, no body, no crime / But I ain't letting up until the day I die
https://preview.redd.it/z4ek94lxipuc1.jpg?width=293&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa72929548f7bc694a89da51be7560d26f69fb61
Recommendation: Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Addictive, cunningly plotted and certainly sensational, Lady Audley's Secret draws on contemporary theories of insanity to probe mid-Victorian anxieties about the rapid rise of consumer culture. What is the mystery surrounding the charming heroine? Lady Audley's secret is investigated by Robert Audley, aristocrat turned detective, in a novel that has lost none of its power to disturb and entertain.
Similarities: Murder, complicated women, games of cat-and-mouse
Review: This novel is the Victorian version of a domestic thriller, and it’s just really fun. The writing is atmospheric, even if it sometimes borders on self-parody given how over-the-top it can be. It feels surprisingly modern and I think would make for a great entry point to Victorian fiction—shame it’s not more well-known!
Honorable mention(s):
  • Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn: Definitely leans into the Southern small town elements of the track. Flynn’s writing is excellent and there’s a real depth to her work. I would have made this my primary recommendation, except I haven’t read it recently.
  • Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg: I haven’t read it…but I watched the movie ages ago and it seems like a good fit.

happiness

I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
https://preview.redd.it/pfi3wa4yipuc1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0a7cd3a0045f915970ceff265f8e09dd01160ce
Recommendation: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Jay Gatsby is the man who has everything. But one thing will always be out of his reach. Everybody who is anybody is seen at his glittering parties. Day and night his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing, and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby—young, handsome, and fabulously rich—always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.
Similarities: Spare, laborious in a way that feels like a funeral dirge (sorry); themes of relationships ending and moving on; the book is the obvious inspiration behind several lyrics
Review: Fitzgerald’s writing is crystal clear and he can definitely create an atmosphere, but his characters are paper-thin and just do not feel like real people. It’s a novel without subtlety or nuance or subtext, and I don’t buy any of it…but I can appreciate the prose. I don’t think it’s as good as most other people seem to, but I still like it.

Do you ever stop and think about me? / When we were younger down in the park…
https://preview.redd.it/9ca42mjyipuc1.jpg?width=292&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebcfa0f039b1ee7fc8a4e90e5ebaad6edad23b3d
Recommendation: Passing by Nella Larsen
Irene Redfield is living an affluent, enviable life with her husband and children in the thriving African American enclave of Harlem in the 1920s. That is, until she runs into her childhood friend, Clare Kendry. Since they last saw each other, Clare, who is similarly light-skinned, has been “passing” for a white woman, married to a racist man who does not know about his wife’s real identity, which she has chosen to hide from the rest of the world. Irene is both fascinated and repulsed by Clare’s dangerous secret, and in turn, Clare yearns for Irene’s sense of ease and security with her Black identity and community, which Clare gave up in pursuit of a more advantageous life, and which she can never embrace again. As the two women grow close, Clare begins to insert herself and her deception into every part of Irene’s stable existence, and their complex reunion sets off a chain of events that dynamically alters both women forever.
In this psychologically gripping and chilling novel, Nella Larsen explores the blurriness of race, sacrifice, alienation, and desire that defined her own experience as a woman of mixed race, issues that still powerfully resonate today. Ultimately, Larsen forces us to consider whether we can ever truly choose who we are.
Similarities: Nostalgic, wistful, bright, quick; themes of reconnection
Review: Larsen’s writing is limpid, beautiful, and direct, with lovely descriptions that are evocative and develop the taut sense of unease that simmers just below the surface. Every smile, every polite invitation to tea is barbed and heavy with hidden meaning. It’s a brilliant and captivating psychological thriller that is subtle and light-handed on every front.
Honorable mention(s):
  • Middlemarch by George Eliot: Not only is Dorthea arguably the main character, but this novel aligns perfectly with dorthea’s themes of rekindled young love. It’s brilliant, but also incredibly slow and thoughtful and dense; it took me over a hundred pages to get into the rhythm of Eliot’s writing.

coney island (feat. The National)

Disappointments, close your eyes / And it gets colder and colder / When the sun goes down… / The question pounds my head / "What's a lifetime of achievement?"
https://preview.redd.it/95q78syyipuc1.jpg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29a488071033428980ac8049e6759dca8806709d
Recommendation: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of Stevens, the perfect butler, and of his fading, insular world in post-World War II England. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.
Similarities: Gray, overcast, salt spray, regretful, lonely, melancholic, quiet, calm, introspective
Review: Ishiguro captures the character of Stevens so completely that it’s difficult to believe this is not actually written by an English butler from a bygone era. Quiet and almost dreamlike, it’s a character study that exists almost entirely in subtext. Profoundly heartbreaking.
Honorable mention(s):
  • On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan: Break my soul in two / Looking for you but you're right here… I hated almost everything about this novel but it’s undeniably a great fit here.

ivy

I'd live and die for moments that we stole / On begged and borrowed time / So tell me to run / Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become / And drink my husband's wine.
https://preview.redd.it/2uxdj8hzipuc1.jpg?width=295&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e80124b01ed6802002990f3068fc000be880004a
Recommendation: Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier
Frenchman's Creek, set in 17th-century England, is an absorbing tale of adventure, danger and passion. Lady St. Columb is bored with fashionable life at Court so she sets off for the peace and freedom of her husband's Cornwall estate. Quite unexpectedly, she stumbles on the mooring place of the white-sailed ship belonging to the daring Frenchman who plunders the shores of Cornwall.
Similarities: Poetic, passionate, adulterous, pastoral, romantic
Review: I would say this is “sweet” except it unapologetically romanticizes adultery; putting that aside, though, it’s a gorgeously written novel that’s heavy on the romance with a dash of adventure. It doesn’t hold a candle to Rebecca, du Maurier’s most famous novel, but I still really liked it.

Recommendation: Black Wings Has My Angel by Elliott Chaze
When Tim Sunblade escapes from prison, his sole possession is an infallible plan for the ultimate heist. Trouble is it’s a two-person job. So when he meets Virginia, a curiously well-spoken “ten-dollar tramp,” and discovers that the only thing she cares for is “drifts of money, lumps of it,” he knows he’s met his partner. What he doesn’t suspect is that this lavender-eyed angel might just prove to be his match.
Black Wings Has My Angel careens through a landscape of desperate passion and wild reversals. It is a journey you will never forget.
Similarities: Dark, romantic, dangerous, deceptive; features a passionate but volatile relationship
Review: More in the vein of violent crime/noir than passionate romance, this very short novel is disturbing but also impossible to put down. The ending is executed very poorly, but otherwise I loved it (somewhat surprising since it’s outside what I typically read).

Recommendation: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud
When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in…
For more than fifty years, the country has been affected by a horrifying epidemic of ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy the dangerous apparitions.
Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping for a notable career. Instead she finds herself joining the smallest, most ramshackle agency in the city, run by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood. When one of their cases goes horribly wrong, Lockwood & Co. have one last chance of redemption. Unfortunately this involves spending the night in one of the most haunted houses in England, and trying to escape alive.
Similarities: Upbeat, fast paced, resilient, adventurous, spunky, “Scooby-Doo” vibes but in a good way
Review: Utterly charming, beautifully written, oozing with charm and atmosphere, occasionally funny, and a more engaging page-turner than most of the adult thrillers I’ve read. Even though it’s obviously targeting a younger audience, the characterization and writing are both exceptional. I think this would be perfect for anyone craving Harry Potter-esque escapism.

Recommendation: Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor (no, not that one)
On a rainy Sunday in January, the recently widowed Mrs. Palfrey arrives at the Claremont Hotel where she will spend her remaining days. Her fellow residents are magnificently eccentric and endlessly curious, living off crumbs of affection and snippets of gossip. Together, upper lips stiffened, they fight off their twin enemies—boredom and the Grim Reaper. Then one day Mrs. Palfrey strikes up an unexpected friendship with Ludo, a handsome young writer, and learns that even the old can fall in love.
Similarities: Contemplative; themes of regret, loss, missed opportunities, heritage/family/ancestry
Review: (Why does the description make it sound like this is a romance with a huge age gap? It isn’t.) I laughed, I cried, I sometimes was a bit bored. I think I’m just not a huge fan of Taylor’s writing style, which is spare and very practical—not bad, but like I was being kept at arm’s length from the characters. In short, I liked, but didn’t love, this novel.
Honorable mention(s):
  • The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu: Even though it’s a (very) short story, it packs a powerful emotional punch. Link is to the story, which is free to read.
  • Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen: Never be so kind, you forget to be clever. / Never be so clever, you forget to be kind… It really only fits with this one lyric, but I wanted an excuse to recommend what is probably my favorite Austen novel (of the ones I’ve read).
  • Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner: I haven’t read it but imagine it would be a good match.

Recommendation: Fortune’s Pawn by Rachel Bach
Devi Morris isn't your average mercenary. She has plans. Big ones. And a ton of ambition. It's a combination that's going to get her killed one day - but not just yet. That is, until she just gets a job on a tiny trade ship with a nasty reputation for surprises. The Glorious Fool isn't misnamed: it likes to get into trouble, so much so that one year of security work under its captain is equal to five years everywhere else. With odds like that, Devi knows she's found the perfect way to get the jump on the next part of her plan. But the Fool doesn't give up its secrets without a fight, and one year on this ship might be more than even Devi can handle.
Similarities: Abrasive, spiteful, headstrong, mechanical, tough-girl act; the metallic clanging in the production feels like it goes with science fiction
Review: I haven’t read this one since pre-folkmore so who knows how it holds up, but it’s so much fun! Fast-paced and well-written with a fantastic romance subplot…you don’t have to like sci-fi to enjoy this (it’s almost written in the style of fantasy—or maybe romantasy since that’s a thing now?).
Honorable mention(s):
  • All Systems Red by Martha Wells: Extremely well-done and extremely entertaining. There are a bunch of books in the series, but I still think this is the best.
  • The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Has anyone not read this at this point? I feel like Katniss would totally vibe with closure.

evermore (feat. Bon Iver)

And I was catching my breath / Staring out an open window / Catching my death / And I couldn't be sure / I had a feeling so peculiar / That this pain would be for / Evermore.

Recommendation: Villette by Charlotte Brontë
Lucy Snowe flees England and a tragic past to become an instructor in a French boarding school in the town of Villette. There she unexpectedly confronts her feelings of love and longing as she witnesses the fitful romance between Dr. John, a handsome young Englishman, and Ginerva Fanshawe, a beautiful coquette. The first pain brings others, and with them comes the heartache Lucy has tried so long to escape. Yet in spite of adversity and disappointment, Lucy Snowe survives to recount the unstinting vision of a turbulent life's journey - a journey that is one of the most insightful fictional studies of a woman's consciousness in English literature.
Similarities: Sad, lonely, gray, poetic, slow
Review: This book emotionally destroyed me and is, consequently, one of my all-time favorite novels. I don’t think anything I’ve read has had such an impact on me as Villette. I thought about it literally daily for months after I finished it the first time, and years later (though I’ve reread it since) it still comes to mind fairly often. This is one of those books where almost everyone thinks it’s okay to spoil the ending, so don’t read anything about it if that bothers you.

Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen? / Time went on for everybody else.

Recommendation: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson:
Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate.
Similarities: Dramatic, frantic, hysterical, tragic; themes of loneliness and the passage of time
Review: Not my favorite Jackson novel (I don’t find the characters that believable) but I still love it! She’s great at writing less-than-sane women, and the atmosphere and setting in this is top-notch.
Honorable mention(s):

it's time to go (bonus track)

That old familiar body ache / The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul

Recommendation: A Month in the Country by J. L. Carr
In the summer of 1920 two men, both war survivors meet in the quiet English countryside. One is living in the church, intent upon uncovering and restoring an historical wall painting while the other camps in the next field in search of a lost grave.Out of their meeting comes a deeper communion and a catching up of the old primeval rhythms of life so cruelly disorientated by the Great War.
Similarities: Contemporary, decisive, finality, moving on/closure, uncertainty/anxiety
Review: Some beautiful writing, but I only thought it was OK. Ishiguro did it better in The Remains of the Day.
Honorable mention(s):
  • Anxious People by Fredrik Backman: Most of these characters have something they need to move on from, so it’s a good fit, even if I didn’t like it very much.

Renegade by Big Red Machine feat. Taylor Swift

(I’m counting this, and the following tracks, as being in the folkmore era)
There was nowhere for me to stay / But I stayed anyway

Recommendation: Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
Independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. The first of his works set in the fictional county of Wessex, Hardy's novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships.
Similarities: Upbeat, candid, optimistic, frenetic energy
Review: The plot of this is kind of wild. I am in the minority and don’t think Bathsheba (what a name) is particularly well-drawn as a character, but I still found this incredibly entertaining. The movie is also great.

Birch by Big Red Machine feat. Taylor Swift

The way I wake up now, is a brand new way
https://preview.redd.it/hehmpz66jpuc1.jpg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01e33b17e77187abf6e2aacf9b6043b117591ccd
Recommendation: Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson
Natalie Waite, daughter of a mediocre writer and a neurotic housewife, is increasingly unsure of her place in the world. In the midst of adolescence she senses a creeping darkness in her life, which will spread among nightmarish parties, poisonous college cliques and the manipulations of the intellectual men who surround her, as her identity gradually crumbles.
Inspired by the unsolved disappearance of a female college student near Shirley Jackson's home, Hangsaman is a story of lurking disquiet and haunting disorientation.
Similarities: Beautiful but discordant, dreamlike/daydreamy, surreal/impressionistic, melancholic, stylized; themes of personal transformation (?); sometimes really confusing to understand
Review: It’s a more dreamlike, surreal version The Bell Jar: a coming-of-age story mixed with an exploration of mental health issues. There’s not much of a plot, but as a character study it’s absolutely brilliant. (And no, according to Jackson’s biography, Ruth Franklin, there’s no evidence that Jackson was “[i]nspired by the unsolved disappearance of a female college student”—that would be Paula Jean Welden, who attended Bennington College—so I have no idea why seemingly every back-of-book blurb makes that claim. It doesn’t even make sense with the plot. And if you’ve seen the movie Shirley, you can dismiss that, too, as almost entirely fictitious and a terrible representation of both Jackson and Hangsman*.)* One of my all-time favorite novels.

The Alcott

I tell you that I think I'm falling back in love with you

Recommendation: Persuasion by Jane Austen
At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.
Similarities: Quiet, calm; themes of reconnecting with an old love
Review: I hated it the first time I read it, but the second time I fell head over heels in love. I think Austen’s writing style is something I can’t force myself to be in the mood for. One of the most romantic novels of all time.

2024.04.12 18:28 DramaMama611 4 Show Mid-week Trip

Mother Play: interesting, sad, but def not Paula Vogel's best. Performances were really terrific, Jessica Lange still has acting chops, and some of heroments were exquisite, but I also felt she was still struggling with lines and got a touch list. I think Celia Keenan-Bolger might have actually saved her at least once. Some of CKB's best work.

2024.04.11 07:50 ProcessTraditional58 Why so theatre so obsessed with incest

I mean come on, I know Oedipus is the first great play but I feel too many playwrights follow in theme of incest and it’s disturbing.
Examples: Buried Child by Sam Shepard The Goat, or who is Sylvia by Edward Albee How I Learned to Drive by Paula Vogel Desire Under the Elms by Eugene O’Neil Batboy Pity she’s a whore House of Yes Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen The list can go on. So what’s up theatre people?

Interested in Chinese politics, society, & economy. Would love history and biography recommendations.
I just read Evan Osnos’ Age of Ambition, Ezra F. Vogel’s Deng Xiaoping biography, and Minxin Pei’s The Sentinel State (all were incredible must-reads in my opinion).

2024.03.20 23:07 Prestigious_Bag_6173 UPDATED 2024 TONY NOMINATION PREDICTIONS - PLAYS

EDIT: Not sure why this is being downvoted :,(
BEST PLAY:
  1. Patriots
  2. Mother Play
  3. Stereophonic
  4. Prayer for the French Republic
  5. Mary Jane
Possibilities: Appropriate (should be here), Jaja's African Hairbraiding
Commentary: I really think if Appropriate was here it would win, despite the rumor that it was designated a revival. Regardless, I think the battle could be between Patriots by Peter Morgan and Mother Play by Paula Vogel. Both from acclaimed playwrights who have yet to win for Best Play.
BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY:
  1. Appropriate
  2. Purlie Victorious
  3. An Enemy of the People
  4. Uncle Vanya
Possibilities: Doubt
Commentary: This is the hardest category and we haven't even seen Uncle Vanya yet! It's a three way tie for me, I loved all three for different reasons. I think Purlie makes the most sense in terms of rewarding it for Best Revival. It really is silly to see Appropriate here.
BEST ACTOR IN A PLAY:
  1. Jeremy Strong, An Enemy of the People
  2. Michael Stuhlbarg, Patriots
  3. Leslie Odom Jr., Purlie Victorious
  4. Liev Schreiber, Doubt
Possibilities: Steve Carrell (Uncle Vanya), Danny DeVito (I Need That)
Commentary: I think this is an easy win for Strong, but I'm anxious to see Stuhlbarg and Carrell, the later being a huge question mark for me. Strong is just so powerful in the play and received rave reviews. Odom Jr., and Schreiber are always terrific.
BEST ACTRESS IN A PLAY:
  1. Sarah Paulson, Appropriate
  2. Jessica Lange, Mother Play
  3. Rachel McAdams, Mary Jane
  4. Anika Noni Rose, Uncle Vanya
Possibilities: Amy Ryan, Doubt, Laurie Metcalf, Grey House
Commentary: Right now it seems like an easy win as well for Paulson who made a triumphant return to Broadway. Jessica Lange is a powerhouse though so I'm looking forward to seeing her and she could really sneak in and surprise here.
BEST FEATURED ACTOR IN A PLAY:
  1. Corey Stoll, Appropriate
  2. Jim Parsons, Mother Play
  3. Will Keen, Patriots
  4. Michael Imperioli, An Enemy of the People
  5. Alfred Molina, Uncle Vanya
Possibilities: William Jackson Harper (Uncle Vanya) Andrew R. Butler (Stereophonic), Anthony Edwards (Prayer for the French Republic) Luke Thallon (Patriots)
Commentary: This category is the most crowded. I could name another 5 performances that are at the bubble. It'll be interesting to see how this category evolves, especially re: Uncle Vanya boys.
BEST FEATURED ACTRESS IN A PLAY:
  1. Kara Young, Purlie Victorious
  2. Celia Keenan-Bolger, Mother Play
  3. Jane Houdyshell, Uncle Vanya
  4. Alison Pill, Uncle Vanya
  5. Zoe Kazan, Doubt
Possibilities: Francis Benhamou (Prayers for the French Republic), Victoria Pedretti, (An Enemy of the People), Sarah Pidgeon (Stereophonic)
Commentary: Another crowded field, but Kara Young, Kara Young, Kara Young. I hope she wins, she truly stole Purlie from Odom Jr., and the rest of the cast. This will be her third consecutive nomination and hopefully her first win.
BEST DIRECTOR OF A PLAY:
  1. Kenny Leon, Purlie Victorious
  2. Lila Neugebauer, Appropriate
  3. Rupert Goold, Patriots
  4. Sam Gold, An Enemy of the People
  5. Daniel Aukin, Stereophonic
Possibilities: David Cromer (Prayer for the French Republic), Lila Neugebauer (Uncle Vanya), Anne Kauffman (Mary Jane)
Commentary: These seem like the solid 5 but last years lineup really threw me so who knows.

Apologies for the late post and the goof-up error of the Des Moines post last week (incorrectly stating the financial center was turning into a hotel and not correctly housing). Slow week as most councils have off or most cities are experiencing spring break in their respective school districts.
