First CapFringe? Its my first time be gentle with me!
Shows I’m Seeing: ‘Life in an Open Kaije,’ ‘Bag Lady,’ and ‘Jack the Ticket Ripper’ plus whatever I can get my husband to agree to see with me
Random Thing You Might Find Revealing About My Sensibilities: I am in the middle of reading three different books: The Scarlet Pimpernel, Mean Streets (for the Kat Richarson novella), and Strata by Terry Pratchett. My favorite musical of all time is Chess. My favorite drama is Copenhagen. I love Dennis Miller AND Dennis Leary. I own a tie-dyed lab coat and the ugliest shoes on the planet.

Elizabeth Bruce is spectacular in “Bag Lady,” a riveting play that draws you right into her life on the street and haunting inner world. The soundtrack also has perfect pitch. Do see — and hear — for yourself!

I think you must have meant this comment to be added to my review page. I doubt that anyone will see it attached to my profile.

I have mad crazy love for the Scarlet Pimpernel. When you’re done with the book, check out the BBC miniseries with Ian McKellan. Great stuff.

Have you seen the musical? I love it so much I have three different recordings of the soundtrack: original, after Rachel York and Rex Smith joined the cast (how I saw it), and the concept album with Linda Eder. All are worth having. Thanks for the tip about the mini-series – Joan
