the insect play

11/09/2016

It seems strangely fitting that we are doing an adaptation of Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' next week. And on this bizarre, Kafkaesque night, I am reminded of the opening line from that story : "When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed into some sort of monstrous insect". Tonight, I am tempted to replace 'Gregor Samsa' with 'America' in that sentence -- and hope I am wrong. (that said, I did just go outside and noticed that the stars are still gorgeous) All the best, everyone. Love and make good art. -- R.L.

I realize I am likely preaching to the choir, but casting your vote for Clinton on Tuesday is critical. And if you happen to be leaning towards not voting, or voting for the Libertarian or Green parties - perhaps as a nod to Bernie Sanders - as much as I understand such inclinations, there is no margin for a protest vote this year -- not to mention that there is zero chance that Bernie's views would be heard in a Trump administration. --- I would like to still be able to recognize my home country on Wed. morning. Thanks.
