Wonderful to see it dramatized but now I have to go back and read it, because there are so many strange and surreal moments, particularly the idea of "passing over" that fly by one in a reading that I wanted to listen to in my mind. It was a very good performance but I wonder as an actor and a director, how I would have approached its dramatization. It posed for me the question of just how far Shakespeare's soliloquies go to breaking through the wall of the plays in which they take place and reach out instead to the audience almost as essays. Thank you for the experience and I do agree that your fiction chapter by chapter in the novels, has the sense of a short drama in the midst of a larger one. The short stories, however, are complete in themselves as is this one, leaving the woman, like a startled deer in the headlights of parked car.
Wow what a great surprise! Thank you!!!!
