Soon to the canopy you will be led

[sovay]

In about six hours, I am getting up to catch a bus to New York City to see Ansky's The Dybbuk off-Broadway with fleurdelis28, shirei_shibolim, terriqat, and some very lovely people who don't have livejournals. Those of us who don't live in New York are then catching the bus back. It will be exhausting; it should also be fun. I have never before seen this play staged, although it's been important to me for almost ten years now (and maybe longer, if you count the poster I used to look at in the basement of the building where my grandmother's congregation met, before they got a temple of their own and confused me forever). It will be very interesting to see what it looks like, outside of my head.

Have fun! Don't have a relapse!

The poster where your grandmother's congregation met--I recall your writing about this, and didn't it make it into a poem? (Or should....) it's kind of entered my own memories and associations with this play (not surprising: my memories and associations come to me almost entirely through you, for this). Hope it's excellent.

I just emailed you before seeing this, so all can wait until you recharge from exhaustion and I hope the play meets at least some of your expectations.

That sounds lovely. I expect you won't have time to do anything other than catch the play, but on the off-chance that you see this before departing NYC, do let me know.

Oh, yeah. Answered your e-mail, too.

So far, so good!

Unfortunately, I didn't even see this message before I left Boston! I am very likely to be visiting (other) friends in New York in May or June, however, and I will keep you posted!

I don't believe it did. Hmm. Maybe I only spoke about it, reading the story sometime?

Hope it's excellent.

It was worth all the headache.
