The main reason for the lack of new posts on this blog, my dear handful of readers, is that I'm involved (as actor, co-director, musician, and setter-up of housing) in a production of The Threepenny Opera in a couple of weeks in Chicago. My friend Rick Burkhardt's new translation is politically urgent and hilarious, and the arrangement of Weill's score for a mere three instruments is sounding very good, if I do say so myself. If you're in Chicago, come see it!
