Oh man, MB, what I wouldn't give to attend this reading and performance! Please let us know how the evening goes. Since I live so far away and am unable to attend, I would sure enjoy at least reading about the it.

Oh gee. I'm losing my hearing and my vision...for a moment I thought it said Naked by the Pear Tree. Now there's an interesting vision of Lizzie. Sounds like a wonderful evening, MB!

Thanks twins: It is being put on by The Pleasure of Poetry club, in which I belong to. The gentleman who is playing John Morse is close to 90, and the woman playing Jennings is in her 80s, including the judge, played by her husband, also close to or over 80. It's just a short reading. But a fun 40 minuets. At least it was the last time I attended it at the Somerset Library.

Yes debbiediablo. Becareful if you go to google images and type the title of the book there. My word :!: :shock: :oops: The images that came up. I was just looking for a photo of the book cover but instead was smacked by eye opening surprises. You would think that by my age I would have known better. :oops: :oops: :oops:

You're welcome. Thank you for the additional information. Wow, given the ages of the players, they deserve kudos for being actively a part of this play. :thumright:

Glad I read the heads up post here before I tried to google. It is heartwarming to hear that those up in age can still be a part of something so cool. There's hope for me then.
