May 20 - PlayBoys and Girls



Staged Act II Waiting for Godot with Eliza (Vladimir), Janet (Pozzo/Lucky), Cat (Lucky/Pozzo), and Lea (Boy) -- good spirits and progress made. Looks like there will be an electrical theme -- tree as giant shop fan, Lucky's rope as bright orange extension cord....

Also initial meeting for The Playboy of the Western World, with Suzanna (Pegeen Mike), Lea, our new young lady, Cat, Lisa McHenry (Sara, Honor, Nelly, Susan -- not necessarilly in that order), William (Sean Keogh), Karl (Michael James), Harriet (Direction) -- looking forward to catching up with Robert Benda (Christy) and Ms. Henry (Widow Quin) -- still have to cast Jimmy and Philly (Michael James's cohorts) -- looks like I may be covering old Mahon, and have a more active role in directing, as per Harriet's suggestion -- distributed scores and CDs, played through bits of Acts I-III.

At work therefter at home on orchestrating numbers 25-26 of Godot...
