have to say that the topic doesn't much interest me either, but I am fascinated

<p class=MsoPlainText>Ladies and Gentlemen I am really sorry to have to say
that but I am totally not interested in the interspecies performances Despite
this fact I have got more than 20 emails by now explaining to me how wonderful
it is I have received those emails through CANDRAMA Listserve; I have talked to
a few colleges of mine and they share my opinion If there is that interest in
the topic why don't all of the interested just create another mailing list to
be able to share their opinions but not on CANDRAMA because I hope it is not a
question and answer site or meet and greet one I would appreciate it very much
if I didn't receive any more messages about interspecies performances Thank you
very much G. Dolganovs actor/director/producer Theatre/Fim/TV<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Some years ago, the Stratford Festival did a production
of Cymbeline in<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>which Martha Henry played the Queen. Looking very much
like a nasty Queen<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>straight out of Walt Disney, she made her first entrance
carrying a ferret,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>which had a be-jeweled collar around its neck with a
leash attached. The<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>ferret promptly shrugged out of its collar, and dropped
to the Tom Patterson<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>stage with a thump. The actors froze and there was a
collective gasp from<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>the audience; but the ferret took too long in pondering
its escape route<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>under the seating, and the Wicked Queen scooped him up
and the scene<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>continued. It was a first preview performance I saw,
though, and I'm not<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>sure whether the ferret made it to opening night.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> I have to say how much I'm enjoying these
interspecies<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>interventions.<o:p></o:p></p>
