Which part is he playing? Mirabell-- the romantic lead- he was disappointed since he said he would rather be a villain or have one of the fun character roles. Romantic leads are boring. My opinion is- it's a lead. Shut up. Is it going to be modern dress, or period costumes? Period- he has already been measured for his costume and wig. He did say his wig was going to be more natural than the character ones- which I guess will be those wild white Marge Simpson pyramids. We saw an insane play this weekend in Houston. It was an original avant garde production, in a teeny room over a nightspot. Written by a U. of Houston prof, it was some sort of play within a play and maybe they were even within a third play. I got kind of lost. I asked CW's friend who was in it what it meant, but she said they hadn't been told. They were supposed to come to their own conclusions. It had some very clever dialogue and was very entertaining, but I have no idea what it was about. There is a great scene where the playwright who is rewriting the Duchess of Malfi (The Duchess of Malfeasance) kills herself without finishing the last act. She ate her own words, and then drowned herself. The director, in desperation, performs an autopsy on her in the bathtub, looking for the last act. It was very funny. I think it was about words, and how we use them. But it was also about bondage, bad marriages, and dead babies. Actually I love that type of back alley theatre. I think you can see some really fine acting and writing. Of course you can see some very weird stuff, too.
