Plays and more plays
Sunday February 13, 2005 – 4:03 pm
Eric and I have been seeing lots of plays lately! Last night we went to the opening night of Heiner Müller’s Quartet, a Court Theatre production staged downtown at the Museum of Contemporary Art (pictured on your left). It was pretty weird, but good! We also saw a play on Friday, Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt at the Artistic Home. Last night’s play had a cast of two and an audience of 300; Friday’s had a cast of twelve for an audience of 30!! That was pretty intense, and me and Eric were in the front row too. It was about 2 hours and 45 minutes… whew! But from what people have said, I guess it could’ve been a lot longer; they’d edited the thing down quite a bit. I’m really glad I got to see those plays; they’re both classics.

you’ve been helping me remember the few plays i saw while living in chicago - david bowie as The Elephant Man was neat. then a troupe called Remains Theatre (cow skull as their logo) did one all in the nude. it was in the building that now houses the Gingerman, I think, one of those triangle buildings on Clark, and at one point one of the actors opened the door at the corner, walked out into the street and kept performing. love that shit.

I’m glad you enjoyed the show. I was in it, and it was great performing for you all. come see our next show. We’re getting new seats, in the event we ever do another epic like Peer.
