THEATRE REVIEW: "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" - THE KENNEDY CENTER
Aaron Sorkin's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is not Harper Lee's, but it is a lesson learned.

Last night two friends and I went to see THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at the performed by an American touring company. A mystery story is presented by an amateur drama company, and actors make mistakes, props go wrong, and it all escalates. The play is a lot of fun, requiring the actors to do both fast repartee and precisely timed physical comedy.

Here's a 10 minute excerpt from early in the play, as performed by its original UK cast. This was for a variety performance, so there are some surprising changes made to fit the setting. If you like it, you can go look for the follow-up adaptations of A Christmas Carol, Shakespeare, and the TV series THE GOES WRONG SHOW.

The offers a video subscription of various performances, but it is not clear if that includes every performance. It seems it does not. I emailed them and asked if the three above mentioned performances will be available with their video subscription service but they never got back to me. However, I may have emailed the wrong department. I will have to try again.

The Kennedy Center's 2023-2024 year has lot to offer this term with performances from , , and . Unfortunately, I am not in a position to a) take off of work and b) afford travel and hotel expenses to see them all. I likely will never get to see them perform. It is times like this that remind me how much I wish my life led down a different path that allowed my to stay in Maryland.

It was a great show. It’s a pity that only cable (or cable-equivalent) subscribers could see it.

I think it’s a real shame that the v has the Mark Twain Prize ceremony behind a paywall on CNN after having it free and over the air on PBS for 20 years. Chasing the dollar?
