Tragic: genius burns, and is hard to live with. I am showing my Sophomore honors students ACTs Cyrano de Bergerac, after having shown them ACTs Taming of the Shrew. The kids are so involved. I wish there was some way to tell Marsha Mason, Peter Donat, Marc Singer & Fredi Olster how, even after all these years, their work resonates so hugely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735133.post-12750034863065954292008-09-07T10:18:00.000-05:002008-09-07T10:18:00.000-05:00other than on wikipaedia, i haven't been able to f...other than on wikipaedia, i haven't been able to find anywhere that ball committed suicide. it's likely apocryphal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735133.post-54214539590578732342007-10-16T17:37:00.000-05:002007-10-16T17:37:00.000-05:00Every director is different and responds to teache...Every director is different and responds to teachers differently ...

Trippy galaxy this blogoshpere, that I came to your site through a link on an article about William Ball. I'm right in the middle of A Sense of Direction right now, for the first time, in preparation for a new play of mine that I'm about to start directing, and I couldn't agree more, it's unbelievably inspiring, just wonderful. I quite literally read the first page and was hooked. I had no idea that he ended up committing suicide (also trippy as I just came out of a performance of Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis, and am duly messed up by it).
