That's the genius of the Kushner play: everyone becomes human at some point.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-695549033756460072009-12-07T16:26:25.541+00:002009-12-07T16:26:25.541+00:00from Ms Tammy Travers
I agree with Catherine Nixon...from Ms Tammy Travers<br />I agree with Catherine Nixon's remarks in a recent blog about the superiority of projected DVD over even LCD TV. I have just watched Barenboim's Ring and Harnoncourt's Magic Flute on projection, with the sound delivered, stereo 5.1., through Sugden amplifiers and Meridian speakers and both works were absolutely fantastic, and the much larger image on projection is so much more satisfying than even fairly large TV screens.<br />The best thing about Angels in America is the monstrous Roy Cohn - decades after the execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg it was disclosed by the US Governement that the secrets they supplied to the USSR were only medium-grade sensitivity - certainly not worthy of the death penalty and Ethel's children becoming orphans. Roy Cohn would almost certainly have been informed about this as chief prosecutor, but still he pressed on with securing their execution.<br />Tamsin TraversTamsin Traversnoreply@blogger.com
