Mark Twain

Today I begin the awards campaign for @petermarksdrama’s rapid-fire theatre-centric one-liners regarding the Broadway-caliber cast of “The Gilded Age.” I’m thinking either a Pulitzer or the Mark Twain Prize.

Apropos of nothing in particular, I just flashed on a moment in a forum at @ONeill_Center perhaps 20 years ago when, in response to comment that “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” was his first full-length play, Edward Albee declared, “All of my plays are full length.”

Press release says new Off-Broadway “Long Day's Journey Into Night” will run only two hours, suggesting it might only be “Long Day's Journey Into Dusk.” This will join the oeuvre that includes naturally lit outdoor productions of another O'Neill work: “Noon for the Misbegotten.”

Trivia I know from theatre: the much-discussed HBO series “The Gilded Age” draws its title from an 1873 novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner. I know this because in 1986 @HartfordStage and @TheActingCo premiered and toured a stage version of the novel. https://t.co/z7R17N144t
