2020-05-10 17:41:40 +0000 UTCGreat look at the way people get way out of sorts on social media - and the play was 20 years old! A little Firesign Theaterish - lots of material to ponder - great job Bill, Kira, Rhea & Paul!

2020-05-07 20:21:40 +0000 UTCInterested in this! But due to Time Zone Issues (c), I'm not sure my expat self will be able to catch this live. Will there be on-demand-viewing options for those of us unable to catch it live?

2020-05-06 17:04:54 +0000 UTCThere are some questions about whether or not we'll be able to sell it. Still waiting on an answer, but we're hopeful it'll happen!

2020-05-05 16:32:32 +0000 UTCStupid question: registered for two tickets about 3 hours ago. The charge shows on my card (pending, but there), but Iβve not received any sort of email confirmation or viewing instructions. Junk folder has nothing. Did anyone else have a long wait?

2020-05-05 01:19:32 +0000 UTCIs there any chance we'd be able to see a captured version at a later date? Weirdly, I have a previous engagement, but I've been curious about Bill's play for ages.

2020-05-04 21:53:14 +0000 UTCHere's the official(?) synopsis that I found on Google books: "Hate Mail is an epistolary play something like Love Letters, with two actors reading letters and other correspondence, but it's a little wilder and more hysterically funny. It tells the story of Preston, a spoiled rich kid who meets his match in Dahlia, an angst-filled artist. Their worlds collide when Preston sends a complaint letter that gets Dahlia fired from her job, and then there's no turning back. The play stays with their increasingly crazed correspondence as they move from hate to love, and then right back again." I've read it (Bill signed a copy for me way back when) and it is really funny. I've never gotten to see it performed, so this will be a treat, and I'll be in the virtual audience with you! - Erik

2020-05-04 21:43:34 +0000 UTCWe're not going to get a romantic date at the theater in the days of COVID-19. So I guess take out and this stream will have to do. π What's the play about?
