| The Great Bookclub Poetry Experiment – and jokes about Gerard Manley Hopkins | August 6, 2008 | The Great Bookclub Poetry Experiment was deemed a great success by all those in attendance (Jan and Anne H – we missed you!). Jan had kindly sent along the comic relief in the form of a Tasmanian teatowel with a lovely little ditty about beer, “The bitter end”. Jinx injected just the right amount of […] |

| the impossible task | August 4, 2008 | At first I was really excited that our bookclub this week was going to be “our favourite poem”.

| is it a circus…no it’s a dream sequence | July 27, 2008 | Rehearsal was interesting this afternoon…most of the time was spent on the “dream sequence”. Interesting because I have been rewatching the documentary on Broadway: The American Musical and they had comments from Agnes B De Mille who choreographed the original Oklahoma Broadway production’s dream sequence. She said originally Laurey’s dream was set to be in […] |
