Last week i took a quick trip to the Berkshires to do a play reading with the Berkshire Playwrights Lab--a beautiful new play by the inestimable Jessica Provenz (I've long been a fan of her work and think she's gonna move mountains with her words). It was such a treat on every level--from the kindness of the Artistic Directors, to the other wonderful actors, to our esteemed director, to the hospitality (and damn fine food) of the bed and breakfast. Now it's back to the real world and I find I'm already missing the sprawling vistas of green, the cool comfort of a theatre, and the general departure from the every day grind.
