2. Playing Lucky in Waiting for Godot can be summed up with the following quote from Nathan Lane about Beckett: "It's one thing to look at it on the page, but then you try to do it and you think 'Well, this is impossible!'" Deep down, I do have confidence in my ability to do this. But just because you believe that you're capable of scaling Mt. Everest doesn't make it easy.

4. Puppetry. AMAZING puppetry. SERIOUSLY. Watch this video.

It's a TED talk, so it's about 20 minutes, but if you don't have that time, watch from 9:20 to about 11:00. This is an example of the puppetry used in War Horse, one of the plays we're seeing when we go to New York. (In four days.)

You post about being in a Beckett play reminds me of the great director's note in SOU's "King Lear". The director was asked to do the play, and he felt incredibly intimidated by it. The response was something like, "It's King Lear ... You can't help but fail." I love the notion of just embracing failure ... that you'll just never get it right. To me, it just releases you to do anything, try anything ... to just go for it. So .... GO FOR IT!
much love,

word verification: Poltzin - a character in "Waiting for Godot" that was cut in the final version of the play.
A nice post, can't wait to give it a try, I mean the peanut butter.
