On a personal note. . .

Just an off-topic blurb to announce that playwright David Ives, who also happens to be my cousin, has a play opening on Broadway to some pretty good reviews.

Is He Dead?

Titled Is He Dead?, the play actually is from an unfinished script by Mark Twain, which has been adapted by David to the modern stage.

Read The New York Times review here.

Listen to an NPR interview with David Ives about the play here.

bamboo Said:

Yeah. I heard his interview on NPR a few days ago. Did Mark Twain ever write any other plays? How about David Ives? I’ve never heard of him, but that just indicates my ignorance of any art form that doesn’t include yo-yo girls and giant monsters. The description of the plot, however, reminded me a little of Oscar Wilde’s “Charley’s Aunt” but also of a Sixties movie (with James Garner and Jack Lemmon, I think)about a starving American artist in Paris who fakes his own death and becomes famous as a result. Well anyway, I hope the play is a great success for your cousin. Break a leg, as they say.
