The Merely Shakespeare Company … Continue reading

I went to two tech events this week and I thought you might like to know a little about them. On Monday I attended Think, Drink, Do run by an innovation agency called Paper. The idea is to get together of an evening and do a little of all three. There were three talks to … Continue reading
Dennis Hopper’s The Lost Album at the Royal Academy of Arts
At the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition of Dennis Hopper’s photographic collection The Lost Album I heard one apparently disenchanted visitor saying, “This is just like walking through an exhibition of all my Instagram photos.” The photos really do have the kind of candid, autobiographical feel that is like a collection of contemporary phone camera … Continue reading

Inside
One of the songs from the musical A Catered Affair I reviewed recently for Everything Theatre was titled “Coney Island.” It reminded me of a very short story called “Inside” that I wrote in my junior year at Sarah Lawrence after a field trip to the amusement park. Inside Jared handed his and Tina’s tickets … Continue reading
