Went to a play on Sunday – Oscar Wilde’s “An Ideal Husband” – community theatre, Marin.
Our friend Martin played the lead. He was really good.
Everyone else was horrible. Just horrible. It was painful to watch. I don’t know how he could stand being in it… 😉
I’ve been in a couple plays like that (on both sides of the coin, actually…)

I went to that play too. Was your friend the Oscar Wildish/Kevin Spaceyish guy? Our friend Bill was in it- he WAS “the Ideal Husband”. That fucking girl was terrible!!! You know, the young one? I wanted to strangle her!
PS- your wife is cool!
