I went with
Remarkably, at intermission someone from the theater rushed up to us and said that not only had they had our food boxed by the restaurant, they had kept it warm for us upstairs in their conference room and they'd extend the intermission a little so we could eat. Bottled water, utensils, a private dining space -- it was really the most wonderful dinner I could imagine, all crammed into 16 minutes.
The production was dotted with music by the Dead Kennedys and Siouxsie and the Banshees (I kid you not) and some excellent performances.
The show ended with five spine chilling and exquisitely staged hangings and afterwards we traipsed off to the cast party to chat with Susan, and found that two of the cast members, both with leading parts, had been replaced six days ago. I was stunned. Prodigious amounts of blocking and lines -- a staggering achievement.
We've seen a lot of plays lately, but this, because of the kindness of strangers, is the one I'll remember.
Seen anything good lately? What's your favorite play?
