Several exciting productions this summer. I predict many New Yorkers (myself included) will be making the trip up.
A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by David Cromer, starring Jessica Hecht (Blanche) and Sam Rockwell (Stanley).
A Doll's House, directed by Sam Gold, starring Lily Rabe (Nora), Lili Taylor (Kristine), Hamish Linklater (Torvald), and Oscar Isaac (Krogstad).
The Broadway-bound revival of You Can't Take It With You.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
