Oooh.

Fells Point Corner Theater is doing, among other plays, Take Me Out, The Sisters Rosensweig, and Side Man this season. (Yeek, they're also doing Pinter, but I won't hold that against them.)

And they're less than a mile from my house.

The only down side is that I can't seem to find an amateur Shakespeare group.

I love the Rudes.  But the hour commute each way? Not so much.

Yay for the Sisters R!
And let us speak no more of Pinter. He belongs in that category of things I no longer have to pretend to care about. Like playing Bridge. Or licorice.

Maybe it's just me, but something seems wrong with your links.

Yeah, there's definitely something wrong. I'm working on fixing them as we speak.

Additionally, yes, a great big "Oy, get over yourself" to Pinter. FPCT is doing The Homecoming. Eesh.

woot! I've known a couple people who have done things at Fells Point.

also, Mobtown players uses the space we used for superbowl sunday show of Much Ado, just around the corner from my new place. They usually do Shakespeare relatively regularly.

again, not the rudes, but, I concur, it's a bit far for regular shows.

Doing Shakespeare on Super Bowl Sunday? As a guy with no appreciation of team sports and a great appreciation for art and literature, I have to say that is SO COOL!

I must admit I did a Pinter piece in school and really loved it...but then again, it could have been because it was a good acting piece.
I don't know that many on which to judge any further ;)

No worries--I won't hold it against you. :)

My main issue with Pinter is how he infuses his work with a sense of unreality that shakes me out of my suspension of disbelief. For example, in The Homecoming (see link in comment above), I'm with Pinter right up until the point the brother from the States shows up with his heretofore unknown wife in the middle of the night. It's like the man stands up on a chair saying "Look how surrealistic and unusual I am!"

Long story short, he's got all the subtlety of a lead anvil.
