And I'm sure that the shade of MWS is looking down on you fondly (PBS & Ld B are looking UP, from the place where the wicked go). Break a leg, create a monster...

I am in Salt Lake and also a friend of Chuck. There is also a reference in one of Shakespeare's the Sonnets- SONNET 73 That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the death-bed whereon it must expire Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by. This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long. I like it because of the allusions to the atmospheric activities going on at the time of the play.

SONNET 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

I like it because of the allusions to the atmospheric activities going on at the time of the play.

It is truly the ideal role! Now if only it will do so well that you can bring it closer to the east coast.... The two pictures from Henry IV are lovely. I especially like the second; you look positively luminous. Or is that devious? I suppose it could be both. I am SO EXCITED for you, and for this play, and for you in this play.
