I also told him that Duncan might be the only other boy lucky enough to have had his mother take him to the show on a date. He laughed at that too.<br />Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931550647986821507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-51655557037261387762014-11-14T10:26:57.333-07:002014-11-14T10:26:57.333-07:00so happy you guys went to see it too!so happy you guys went to see it too!Rebecca Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835541074766008269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-54634505243182569102014-11-14T10:00:01.762-07:002014-11-14T10:00:01.762-07:00I woke several times in the night, each time remem...I woke several times in the night, each time remembering something different about the production. Those red lips and the double-red shoes, the bottle of vermin killer, the laughter of Lennie as he saw the water ripple away from him in the first scene, the loneliness of Curly's wife, the last scene of Lennie looking out into the darkness, just about to seeing his dream, confirming again that he really could have a rabbit hutch.<br /><br />What did Xavier think about the title?<br /><br />ArtaArta Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329194629476229822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-36422820710881807062014-11-14T08:21:48.045-07:002014-11-14T08:21:48.045-07:00Xavier and I had a date last night and were watchi...Xavier and I had a date last night and were watching here in Ottawa. A beautiful production. Xavier thought the acting was really great. I had read up a little in advance on the themes of the themes of the story and on the way to the theatre talked to Xavier a bit about it. I mentioned that women are not portrayed in a very nice way, but that if you can set that aside, the story explores some universal themes: loneliness, the need for companionship and friendship, about dreams, about how everyone has moments when they are cruel to others even if they have suffered themselves. And of course about he literary technique of foreshadowing. <br /><br />I guess I was channeling Arta.Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931550647986821507noreply@blogger.com
