The Saab, Evie and Quality

Supposedly, someone is driving down from Tahoe today to buy the Saab. It's been nice having it, and it looks nice parked next to the curb, but Plotnik will be happy to let it go. Fingers crossed.



Wednesday night, Plot and Duck saw the intriguing one-act "Evie's Waltz" at the Magic. You can read the San Francisco Theater Blog report on "Evie's Waltz" here. You feel like the gun sight is trained on you the whole night. It's an astonishingly interesting production.



Last night was "The Quality of Life," finishing its run at A.C.T. It is every bit as good, and maybe even more ambitious than 'Evie.' Here is the review for "The Quality of Life." Man.

What fine dramas both these shows are, what memorable characters, what sublime acting and, most of all, what superior writing. Theater is supposed to leave you higher than when you walked in and 'Evie' and 'Quality' did just that. Two in a row, and Dame Edna coming up tomorrow. This is turning into quite a weekend.

Hope the Saab is gone.
I'm so jealous of your theatre going. Both plays sound great..forwarded the reviews to Sally for next season's consideration. And the one play I'd like to see tonight (first night in forever I'm free) is sold out and closing tonight. DANG

We loved "Quality" and will be going to the Magic in a week (or so). Now I will read you reviews which outshine those in the Chronny.

That must be some Saab for someone to drive all the way from Tahoe - that's about five hours!
