Feast of St. Francis
To Waynesville last night for opening night of Washington Place. I’m always astonished and grateful to see the effort so many people put into realizing my work. It was a good show in an especially good space for it. The girls tried Yiddish and Italian accents, which got in my way, but which were praised in the talk-back, so I assume I have the playwright’s prejudicial passion to hear every single syllable. The actresses had done research and knew far more about their characters and the event than I. Gussie wore a necklace because her character, burned past recognition, was identified by a necklace worn in a certain way.
