Thrilling news! Carrie Coon will be shedding her "Gilded Age" frills to appear in husband Tracy Letts's "Bug" on Broadway. It's my favorite Letts play, a potent, gut-churning concoction of accelerating paranoia, perfect for our age of conspiracy theories. https://t.co/DUjBs8QXoA

The play was written by Tracy Letts, who is married to Coon. It’s about a down-and-out duo for whom motel room insects prompt paranoia.

RIP the legendary cartoonist, author and world-class satirist Jules Feiffer, at 95. His work for the Village Voice, his plays and screenplays (including Carnal Knowledge) and his entirely original voice are landmarks in American wit

I’ve been over in the wild blue yonder for sometime now - although posting a lot less then I used to. That’s changing now that so many friends are making the big switch. Look forward to seeing you all.

The NYT wrote an editorial calling for Trump to step down. They must have lost a shit ton of subscribers. Too little, too late.

Saw this for the first time recently and it completely blew me away. A masterpiece. May is (of course) correct when she says the script wasn’t improvised - I have the script and the astonishing Cassavetes and Falk are right on it.
Filmmaker Elaine May explains the first time she met John Cassavetes and sets the record straight on an internet myth about her film, MIKEY AND NICKY ('76). See more of this conversation followed by the film tonight at 11:15pm ET.

Such a wonderful film!
In his new documentary, “Menus-Plaisirs—Les Troisgros,” Frederick Wiseman constructs two overarching stories: one about the evolution of a world-famous restaurant, in France; the other about the material transformation of the food itself. https://t.co/v35Gk3yyvH

I am so, so happy to see Maya’s praise for Rebecca Gilman’s quietly staggering “Swing State,” one of the best and most important plays of the year. @mayabphillips
For our critic-at-large, the best of 2023 on stage and screen included “Swing State,” “Purlie Victorious,” “Bottoms” and the ever-alluring “Wednesday” dance.
