Last night was a big night.
I probably should clear the elephant out of the living room: of course last night was the night the USA elected Obama.
CNN was broadcasting live from Times Square, and the night, though hazy, was dry and not at all cold. We met the crowd there when we came out of the theatre at something to eleven. Here is what we saw:
Times Square, 10:55 p.m., 4th November 2008
Philip’s photos are better, I’m sure; he’s taller and he got the pictures from closer (I had to take mine from afar, before I was swallowed in the crowd). Maybe he’ll post them soon.
But before that, we spent over three hours in a theatre watching what might just be the hottest play on Broadway right now: Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County. Now we went in full awareness of the rave reviews the play got, but just how much can you expect from a three-act play set in the middle of Oklahoma?
A whole doggone lot, so it turns out. We didn’t feel the time at all, not even with the two intermissions and the three acts. What a play.
What a night.
