We'll see if anyone else out there agrees with her. Fingers crossed... And she did make suggestions for improvements.<br /> <br />I first saw Mark in "Jerusalem" in London, the best performance imaginable, searing, blistering, overwhelming. I've gone out of my way ever since to see his work, including yet again going to NYC to see him in two Shakespeare plays with men only - he played Olivia in "Twelfth Night" with delicacy and power. It's "Farinelli" in NYC - so I will certainly give a report.

It takes someone...What good news about your memoir. It takes someone with the right reading skills, I think, and the right sense of what you intended, what you achieved. And wow, an opportunity to see Mark Rylance. I sometimes wish I'd never seen Wolf Hall just so I could see it for the first time. What a beautiful performance. Tried to get tickets to Farinelli and the King the last time we were in London (I know it was written by his wife Claire van Kampen but I think he was in it too?) but alas, sold out. So you'll give a full report, I hope?theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355671143795562822noreply@blogger.com
