Leslie and I went our separate ways Sunday morning; Leslie to visit our favorite waiter, Jose, at Pigalle's and me- Ann- to visit my son, Adam, in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. After a nice visit and a good br
eakfast, I raced back to Times Square in order to check out of our hotel and see the Sunday matinee of Becky Shaw at The Second Stage Theater on 43rd Street. Becky Shaw is written by Gina Gionfriddo, who writes for Law & Order, and largely focuses on a blind date between two mismatched people. The show is billed as a comedy gone bad, and we are left wondering who is the more toxic person on the date. We saw some familiar faces in this play; Annie Parisse from Law & Order plays Becky, the terrific Kelly Bishop plays the mother (she is also the grandmother on The Gilmore Girls), and the actor David Wilson Barnes who plays Max. Like God of Carnage the ground keeps shifting in this play and alliances keep changing. We both liked this play very much. Thw writing is crisp, and the actors were well cast. We raced to Port Authority and caught a Greyhound back to NH after five great days in our favorite place.
