About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: Winging our way

December 20, 2010 by ldemanski

CG20101208-Whos-Afraid-of-Virginia-Woolf.jpgBy the time most of you get around to reading this posting, Mrs. T and I will be on our way to Chicago, where we’re spending the next two days hanging out with Our Girl (whom we love dearly) and seeing Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s much-discussed revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (which stars Tracy Letts, the author of Killer Joe and August: Osage County, who is also a highly distinguished actor in his own right). On Wednesday we head down to Smalltown, U.S.A., where Christmas and my family are to be found.
I’ll do my best to keep you posted on what we’re up to this week, but if I don’t, there’ll still be the usual videos, almanac entries and theater-related postings to keep you occupied.
In the meantime, enjoy the holidays–we will!
