It sure went well. It's nice to be able to write those words, let me tell you. The audience was extremely receptive, the feedback was wonderful; I really couldn't ask for anything more . . . well maybe except to be able to do it again tonight! This thing fits like a glove. It's light on its feet and deep when it has to be. Bette says it best when she said that to make someone preparing to kill his wife sympathetic is quite an accomplishment. And the audience loves the character. When the moderator asked at the end if there was anyone that found him unsympathetic, no one did. All in all a richly rewarding night. A few jumbled lines, but nothing important and the audience was none the wiser.
Now a few days rest and then to work on beefing it up for summertime! I can't wait to do this thing multiple times and really find the rhythms in it. It was weird when I was getting toward the end of the piece last night, I didn't want it to end. That's a nice feeling.
