Wolf Hall was great--I've been working on a play about this time period for years and years, so it was right up my alley.<br /><br />Glad you liked Stick Fly. It was a big hit here in Boston.<br /><br />Gatz was amazing--it illuminated the novel for me in entirely new ways. And some very cool theatrical moments.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, as well. You certainly had a great 2010--I hope 2011 can match it!Patrick Gabridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497038051641691987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892344170791364530.post-4590263281215415482011-01-01T14:22:15.247-05:002011-01-01T14:22:15.247-05:00I like your lists, Patrick!
I just bought Wolf ...I like your lists, Patrick! <br /><br />I just bought Wolf Hall for my brother for Christmas (he likes things English), so I'm glad it's a good one. I saw Stick Fly in Los Angeles, and loved it! Not many people tackling class differences as well as race challenges as elegantly as she did in that play. Wish I could have seen Gatz! The Messenger was so incredible I well up just thinking about it. I bought the DVD (and I never do that with movies anymore). <br /><br />Best wishes to you in the new year! <br /><br />~EllenEM Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315331995211327128noreply@blogger.com
