When 8:59 Finally Reached 9:00
When 8:59 Finally Reached 9:00 There is a peculiar loneliness in submitting a story. You press "send," attach a fragment of yourself to an email, and release it into a silence you cannot negotiate with. Then life resumes. You make coffee. You answer messages. You write other pieces. You convince yourself that you have already made peace with whatever answer returns.

Why "Clytemnestra" Reframes One of Greek Mythology’s Most Misunderstood Queens
For centuries, Clytemnestra has occupied a familiar place in the Greek mythological canon: the murderous wife who kills Agamemnon upon his return from Troy. In many traditional tellings, she is often reduced to a single act–an archetype of betrayal, ambition, and vengeance.

Joe Turner
When it comes to August Wilson I think more about "Fences" or "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" than I do about "Joe Turner's Come and Gone". Not that "Joe Turner" is a bad play, it just isn't a stand out. August Wilson wrote 10 seminal cycle plays which cover African-American history and almost all take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Wilson's plays tend to get violent at some point of the play; "Fences", "The Piano Lesson"... Here in "Joe Turner", the plot in both acts tends to get slow at certain points. The cast in this play is very good, from: Cedric as Seth Holly, Ruben Santiago as Bynum Walker and Taraji Henson as Bertha Holly. Under good direction by Debbie Allen, the play takes us back to 1911 in a segregated time where Negros take jobs in factories, they do what they can to survive; all the while keeping their traditions alive. David Gallo may very well win best set at the Tony's this year. The set resonated, and had the audience in awe at this brilliant design. Gallo gave us the boarding house feel and the outside of where these characters went to work as well. The dual scenery made the play more interesting visually.
