Sidney sends out an e-mail with the Edward the King logo dramatically displayed, and the message, AND PLAYING PIERS GAVESTON WILL BE: BRIAN CHARLES ROONEY. What on earth was all that about? BCR says they had even hired a casting agent. Some New York theater stink fight of a kind that I know nothing about? Mysterious silence from everyone up there, as though I were being left deliberately out of the loop. I care less than they suppose. I care more than I expected to.

Dinner with Glen, L’s boyfriend, who wants to work with Black Swan. His extreme nervousness was apprehension at meeting me, which I found at once odd and dear. Lots of Greensboro theater gossip. He has the makings of a full-blown eccentric, and I like that.
