so, instead of making separate posts to catch up for my lateness, i’m just going to make one big fat one or two with all my findings in it. 1.i went and saw Fragments at ArtsEmerson tonight, with Leigh. I thought Fragments was a piece in and of itself that Beckett wrote. (I tried to […]

I’m sorry that this [angsty hipster] guy had to see what sounds like a shitty production of TV(oTGC). If you click on the thumbnail at the top right of the article, you might understand.
