Big Bucks Required to See Harry Potter Blind Horses
Tickets for this fall’s staging of Equus starring Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths (he plays Harry’s uncle in the films) went on sale recently. I’m stunned at the top ticket price of $116.50. Even the cost to sit in the top/back of theatre is $61.50.

This is our second Gypsy since we came to [...]
Les Liaisons Dangereuses
This afternoon we started our anniversary week of theatre with Les Liaisons Dangereuses, a new staging of Christopher Hampton’s 1987 play . We were attracted to this production because of its cast list featuring Laura Linney, Ben Daniels and Siân Phillips.
