Sharif</a> as the Rep's new artistic director, newly transplanted from Baltimore.  So when it comes to getting started, you can't accuse Sharif of thinking small.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p><em>Angels in America</em> is one of those theatrical works that is such a cultural touchstone, with respect to the treatment of homosexuals in 'Amurrika', and the AIDS hysteria of the 1980s during the time of Rap Master Ronnie.  Since self the loser has never read the play, seen the HBO version of it, or seen a complete production, going to the Rep to see <a href="http://www.repstl.org/events/detail/angels-in-america-parts-one-and-two" target="_blank" title="">their production</a> was a no-brainer, so to speak.  </p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>The word "complete" in the last sentence is a key here, though.  This is because 3CM did see a while back the HD-cinema presentation of <a href="http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/61491-angels-in-america-part-two-perestroika" target="_blank" title="">Part II ('Perestroika') of the National Theatre production</a> of <em>Angels in America</em>.  However, self the loser did not see Part I because of a scheduling conflict at the time.  I had asked some acquaintances about how it would be to see Part II without having seen Part I ('Millennium Approaches').  The gist of the replies was that one could see Part II and enjoy it on its own, but Part II makes a lot more sense with knowledge of Part I, perhaps stating the ridiculously obvious.  I remember the performance of Part II from the National Theatre as being very good (this is British theater, after all).  But now, having seen the entire production over 2 separate visits to the Rep, it became abundantly clear that one has to see both parts, in sequence, to appreciate the strands of the story and themes in full (or at least as full as one run-through can give).</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>The thing about the Rep is that it is not based in the city of St. Louis, but at Webster University in Webster Groves, in the suburbs (albeit not too far from the city line).  So there's more than an element of safe, suburban, white-bread-ness about the organization, the setting, and the general atmosphere.  While the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts, the theater where the Rep is based, is indeed on a college campus, college students were exactly overflowing in the crowd, although there were some (no doubt Webster U.) students present at each show.  Likewise, the audience was pretty much white and skewed older.  There was a shudder of recognition towards the end when, as part of the video montage of late 1980's TV footage around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a fleeting glimpse of the Evil One appeared, from an <em>Inside Edition</em> video clip (no voice, though, thank the FSM).  However, to give equal mention of douchebags on both sides politically (without mentioning names), the script also briefly mentions the director of <em>Annie Hall</em>.  In fact, the portrayal of Louis in the play can almost be seen as a parody of said film director, in terms of the rather whiny self-flagellating nature of Louis, at least in this portrayal by Ben Cherry.  That didn’t hit me as much when I saw the National Theatre HD-cast, with a very different actor, James McArdle.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>For star-gazers who didn't click through to the Rep's page on the production and looked at the cast list, notable names in the case include Meredith Baxter, probably best known as Alex Keaton's mom on Family Ties, and Barrett Foa, known as Eric Beale on <em>NCIS: Los Angeles</em> (which self the loser has never seen).  A highway billboard illustrates, literally, this point, as Instagrammed by Valeri Mudek here (VM is Harper Pitt in this production).  MB certainly had more name recognition for me, even though I didn't watch <em>Family Ties</em> with any regularity.  However, I didn't know that MB had come out years ago.  At least 3 members of the cast are gay to my certain knowledge, the 3^rd being Peter Frechette as Roy Cohn, and PF has a whale of a time playing said disgusting scumbag (no surprise that Cohn was affiliated with the disgusting Bernie-bro-enabled treasonous scumbag ensconced at 1600 PA Ave. now).  </p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>But speaking of treason and condoning interference by Russia in US matter, the play still does kind of soft-pedal the fact that Ethel Rosenberg (played also by Meredith Baxter, as per Kushner’s actor assignments) was a traitor who did pass US documents to the enemy, even if in terms of legal procedure, Cohn fatally hosed her.  Ironically, Cohn exhibited the same fanaticism, trashing of rules of decent conduct, and ruthlessness, from the other ideological side, that the USSR used when liquidating its ‘enemies’; birds of a common rotten feather, it seems.  But it’s understandable that Kushner would want to use Ethel Rosenberg as a cudgel with which fictionally to beat up on Roy Cohn.  The further irony is that had she been sentenced to life imprisonment, rather than executed, she might well have ended up as much less of martyr historically.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>Given that past productions have engaged in some spectacle (especially with respect to angels crashing the party, so to speak), the Rep mostly avoided major pyrotechnics, with the focus on the actors and thus the people, rather than stagecraft.  For example, the National Theatre production showed an elaborate stage vision of Heaven as Prior Walter meets the various angels towards the end of Part II.  At the Rep, there was just an old-fashioned 1940s era radio with mock BBC Radio-style voices talking about Chernobyl, and the other 7 actors as the angels circling around Prior Walter, as the stage turntable itself spun (the one use of “stage trickery”).  So although this is an epic-length piece of theater, it’s an intimate epic as it spools out the relationships between the various characters.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>In keeping with the epic theme, the Rep is offering seven “Marathon Days”, with both parts of the play performed in one day.  This is primarily a marathon for the actors, of course, since the actors have to do the really hard work.  The audience simply has to show up and listen attentively, with cell phones off.  No, 3CM won’t do a Marathon Day, since he has already seen both parts on separate days (yes, bad boy on carbon footprint there, even if the drive there for me isn’t all that long, &lt;10 miles).  But for those audience members who show up for a Marathon Day (or on separate days), good for them.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>With that, you can either:</p> <ol> <li>Discuss the subject on hand (good luck to 3CM with that, of course).  Or:</li> <li>Observe the standard SNLC protocol.</li> </ol> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <p>Since the play does have varying degrees of loserness, maybe putting the two choices above together isn’t so difficult….</p> rss@dailykos.com (chingchongchinaman) AIDS AngelsInAmerica Community SaturdayNightLosersClub StLouis Theater TonyKushner _1885506 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 02:14:18 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/3/30/1508104/-Queen-of-the-Dead-Enders <div>It was more than a little dismaying to watch one of my all-time favorite actresses, Susan Sarandon, mouth proto-Leninist nonsense about how if her man Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic nomination she'd rather Trump than Hillary in November because a Trump win would accelerate a progressive revolution. <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/extended-interview-with-susan-sarandon-653901891895" title="">Chris Hayes</a> was visibly stunned by such a witless claim coming from someone seemingly so bright. His next guest, <a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2016/03/dan-savage-susan-sarandon/" title="">Dan Savage</a>, immediately jumped on her comment. Rightly identifying himself as a staunch Bernie supporter (he had dinged Hillary quite seriously when she made her comments about Nancy Reagan starting a national conversation about AIDS), Savage still said if it comes down to Hillary vs. Trump in November he's voting for Hillary because even a choice of lesser evils results in less evil. He also called Sarandon on the dubious historical support for her claim that voting in a megalomaniacal strongman ever is a good thing for progressive politics. Last night Pulitzer Prize winning playwright <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/tony-kushner-on-clinton-and-susan-sarandon-654667331754" target="_blank" title="">Tony Kushner</a> also registered his bafflement over her comments.</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div>I have family and friends I love and respect who are ardent Bernie supporters…and, hell, if he defies gravity and beats Hillary in big primary states to come by the margins he's beating her in small caucus states, I may end up voting for him myself in June. I'm also confident that Bernie Sanders, an honorable man, will do everything in his power to deliver those 74% of his voters who tell exit pollsters that <a href="http://www.vox.com/2016/3/28/11319720/bernie-or-bust-sanders" title="">they will support Hillary</a> if she's the nominee.

I have only ever lived within two hours of the hospital where I was born. &nbsp;I am a little nobody, and I may well leave the only home I have ever known. I am in my 40s. If I relocate, it will be tantamount to dying out of one life and being born into another.</p> <p>We tend to invoke God at extreme moments. This is true even if God doesn’t figure much in our consciousness otherwise. Whether they pray, people often curse, mouthing names of the Almighty, when big, unfathomable things happen to them, when catastrophes befall, when there are personally cataclysmic shifts of any kind. The general principle that people who are normally not so interested in religion, tap the Divine when they face something huge, may explain why I have been thinking about God with uncommon frequency and urgency these days.<br /></p> <blockquote>Welcome to Brothers and Sisters, the weekly meetup for prayer* and community at Daily Kos. &nbsp;We put an asterisk on pray* to acknowledge that not everyone uses conventional religious language, but may want to share joys and concerns, or simply take solace in a meditative atmosphere.

Looking back, I see this scene: I am painting a portrait of myself as earth-mother, with a child-sized globe swaddled in my arms; on the stereo, the Rolling Stones are singing "Angie," and when they get to that line, "Sometimes I want to wrap my coat around you," the painting is done.</p> <p>A few days ago, my friend told me that her daughter and her twenty-something activist cohort see life differently from their parents' generation.
