My third reading of this exceptional play. With a revival opening on Broadway this season, it was the perfect time to re-read this brilliant piece. SO many layers to peel back on the circumstances, on the characters and on the Proof (and it's myriad meanings). A fantastic play, and a great read!
Two of my favorite authors teamed up to write a "He Said/She Said" action mystery and it did not disappoint. Jackson and Mackenzie (Mac) are dynamic characters who become entangled in several twisted plots. With plenty of action, wit, and snippy quips this is a dynamic duo with whom you'll be glad to spend your time!
This soon to be published short crime story is set in 1968 and has some wonderfully developed characters. Short stories are a specific art form, and this one manages give an education, develop distinct characters and present a well plotted crime and solution. Can't wait to see this published in an anthology!
What a creative concept for this anthology!!! The layout of the book gives the reader a history lesson in Stephen Sondheim and shows the progression of his career. Each of the short crime stories in this anthology are brilliantly creative, well plotted and for Sondheim freaks the amount of "easter eggs" included in the stories are great fun! I just LOVED this anthology!!
A fascinating piece! A series of vignettes highlight the subject of this play, which is in fact a dining room. It's all dining rooms and it's fascinating how the playwright centers a series of mini-plays (each vignette us a very short play-trust me it works) around a dining room and the reader is enchanted with the dining room, what it represents, how it's used, ignored, cherished, and revered. Quite a stunning piece of theatre.
I learned more about astronauts on the first page of this book than I'd learned in the last 55 years of my life...and that's not even what the book is about! Atmosphere is a beautiful love story, told against the back drop of NASA and the space program. Full of interesting characters and several min-plot lines, it really boils down the fact that love can take you to the stars and back again! Superlative read!
