• Symptom Recital

  
  Blogut — Authority: 474
  I do not like my state of mind; I’m bitter, querulous, unkind. I hate my legs, I hate my hands, I do not yearn for lovelier lands. I dread the dawn’s recurrent light; I hate to go to bed at night. I snoot at simple, earnest folk. I cannot take the gentlest joke. I find no peace in paint or type. My world is but a ...

  Author! Author! — Authority: 122
  Sorry about the sporadic posts of late, campers — the Grumpy Relative’s health woes continue, and I’ve been trying to spend as much time with GR as humanly possible of late.

• What is an actor? Or: Is the director … ? pt. 1

  
  square white world — Authority: 129
  Following the traces of a previous thought: What do actors do? What do directors do? Actors are necessary, even if they are reduced to automata or to machines. But are directors necessary to the theatrical work? What about actor-managers, don’t they in the absence of directors do just as well? Won’t they do just ...

  Now I know how I can post a poem in the morning… get up at 4:30am after tossing and turning for an hour… I’ve posted a few of Dorothy Parker’s poems before and her tongue-in-cheek messages amuse me. I heard this one in Poetry on Record and it was great to hear Parker read it, especially when she barked out ...

  Marissabidilla — Authority: 126
  Of the books Ive read lately, the one that I can sense will have the most influence on my playwriting, and has most inspired me to sit down and write a few scenes, isnt a playscript or a book on theater history.

  I’m a big fan of keeping an idea notebook. There’s been research done that indicates it’s a real aid to creative effectiveness.  Any innovator worth his — or her — salt should be keeping some kind of idea notebook.
