"I Am My Own Wife" A Play. Has anybody seen it?

[crim son]

I watched in amazement. The story, the writing, the acting. Wow. Now I want to see it acted by somebody else, just to compare.

[Ptah]

1. No, but it happened to me once

Dear Playgirl,

I never thought it would happen to me but . . .

... and then . . .




. . . I tried to catch my breath . . .



. . . the best omelet I had ever . . .

[crim son]

3. No, it wasn't about that!

:P

[graywarrior]

2. I heard about it.

[crim son]

4. One actor takes on all the characters.

I'm in Bangor Maine and damn, that fellow did an excellent job. Lighting and set were also superb. Hi, gray! :hi:

[graywarrior]

6. Hi, love!

Are you being good?

[crim son]

7. Very good indeed.

I went out with a girlfriend, had one drink at a pub and came promptly home. What about yourself?

[graywarrior]

9. Re-writing a book for a narcissist.

Makes me want to drink.

[crim son]

11. Meh, drinking is overrated.

And all writers are narcissists. Whaddya gonna do? :shrug: What's the book about?

[graywarrior]

15. A memoir of the sickest proportions.

I'm amazed that people have no idea they are their own problem.

[crim son]

17. Not really. You aren't really amazed are you?

It'll probably be a bestseller... people love to read about other people's fuckups. It makes them feel really comfortable.

[graywarrior]

19. Well, this will be a hit.

I can't reveal any names.

[crim son]

21. Of course not.

If it's a hit, my sister will read it and tell me all aboutt it.

[wildhorses]

38. do you need an assistant??

i will sweep floors and do windows just be close to words...

even if they are the shallow words of a narcissist

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

5. No, but it sounds interesting

to be one's own wife... so many possibilities

glad you enjoyed it though.

:pals:

[crim son]

8. It's based on a series of interviews of a German transvestite

who survived both WWII and Communist E. Germany. Absolutely fascinating.

[SPKrazy]

10. Now That Is A Survivor's Tale

geez, what a struggle that would have had to be.

Sounds interesting... :thumbsup:

[crim son]

12. I need to read up on the tale

because it's possible that his/her whole story was a fabrication. The play doesn't settle the matter. My friend and I agreed that any man who controls the stage like the fellow did tonight, has our undying lust.

[SPKrazy]

13. Single Actor Plays

are not hard to steal the scene in :P

but the actor sounds talented... and yes, the scene could be stolen by the actor's lack of acting skill, I know... just being a smart-ass

[crim son]

14. Well, I agree.

I know the actor by reputation and he's gay. Ah well.

[SPKrazy]

18. Well he needs lovin' too!

and I'm sure he's thrilled at the ability to invoke lust in his audience... regardless of who it is invoked in specifically, that's the love of acting...

[crim son]

23. In his shoes, I'd be proud.

Any man would be fortunate to be with somebody so talented. Also so cute. :P

Yawn, I'm so tired. I really should go to bed.

[SPKrazy]

24. but we need you crimmie!

to show us the light!

:silly:

:hug:

[crim son]

26. Um, yeah.

:crazy: PM

[mentalsolstice]

16. "Little" theater is often the best!

That's about all we have here, but it's very well done! And with girlfriends, it's sublime! I'm happy you had a fun night out!

[crim son]

20. Thanks very much!

"Little" theatre can go either way!! The Pentacle Theatre in Salem, Oregon was so bad as to be worth subscribing to just for amusement's sake. Maybe it's better now. But our Penobscot Theatre does a good job. Oh, I just noticed that theatre is the one word I haven't americanized, apparently. Forgive.

[mentalsolstice]

28. You're close

In the summer, check out what they have going on in Montpelier, VT. I've been there a couple of times in the fall, so we missed it, but supposedly they have a wonderful summer stock theater! The last time we were there, we had just missed Martin Sheen. Just sayin...it would be a fairly short trip for you.

However, I LOVE to see what the local actors can do with a creative piece!

[Hosnon]

22. Haven't seen it. But you showed interest in my post so I do what I can to show

my appreciation.

Thanks crim son; right now I need friends, even though I'm not a big Lounger.

[crim son]

25. Are you okay?

The Lounge is a very good place to come when all is not well.

[Hosnon]

37. Of course:) I like a mix of Twain, Hemingway and Buffett...

It takes quite a bit to make me not appreciate the world I live in.

It just takes a good sense of wonder/comedy...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Nope.

[crim son]

30. It's okay, I forgive you. It really was good and you should try to see it.

And you appear just as I'm about to pass out from exhaustion. Have you had a good night? Any mind-altering drugs involved?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. Yes and yes.

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

33. Aha.

I wish I could see you being not quite yourself.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. Just bring some pizza over!

:D

[crim son]

Second dupe in a row.

Nice.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. Hell, you could do it when I 'm sober.

:evilgrin:

Good night! :loveya:

[crim son]

35. I would. I could probably take advantage of you

while you're under the influence. Or try, because despite your beauty I think I'd fall asleep on top of you (or beneath, as the case may be). I have to go to bed. I'll be on the lefthand side, so you come join me when you're ready, okay? :loveya: Goodnight.

[crispini]

29. Yes. It's an amazing play.

It is in fact a true story. There was an extensive review with the playwright in the program, all about how he went over to Germany to interview the "hero/heroine."

[crim son]

31. Yes, I need to read both the program and do a little research.

I'm very drawn to the Charlotta, as I saw him/her portrayed tonight. I want to learn more.
