In 2014, Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble started a decade-long project translating and producing Anton Chekhov’s plays. Kate Purdum details the use of fresh translations and imaginative theatrical landscapes to affirm the relevance to contemporary audiences. howlround.com/translating-...
Exciting! Terrifying? Lots of things. Trying to work up the courage to listen to myself. But you should listen in the meantime.
Just some absolutely wonderful stuff in these.
@feldmanadam.bsky.social is right, you should go see this play. I'm especially amazed at his sharp eye: He noticed that a painting on the set is Ellis Wilson’s "Funeral Procession," the same one Clair Huxtable bought for her walls in COSBY's second season.🤯 www.timeout.com/newyork/thea...

Watching the National Theater production of Macbeth today @salemcinema — and thinking about how topical this old play still is.
Chemo infusion #5.
Literally the first time I've even seen a picture of this senator. I hope Senator Padilla gets louder and takes some real action. California can't have a useless, deadweight senator.

They should be arrested!

Today, I drove to Portland Community College to be a book in an English as a 2nd Language class. The students could check out about a dozen of us, and ask us questions. It was a room full of communication and empathy. We reached toward each other with open hearts and good humor.
I will not stop telling the truth, being kind, and supporting my vulnerable neighbors and friends. No Nazis! The Resistance begins with each of us.
