Two Movies and a Play

This well-dressed guy in his late 30s is sitting next to me yesterday at Theater Schmeater in Capitol Hill. It's a tiny little spot that you wouldn't notice, really, if you happened to be walking by.

I'm early for "Catch 22."

So there I am, hanging out, on page one of "Schrodinger’s Cat," and he says he's read something else by Robert Anton Wilson and likes him. So we get to swapping lists of what’s good and what’s not and he says how much really good art there is out there to read and experience.

This resonates with me, as I decided earlier this year to take myself to more plays. All of a sudden he goes: "Wait til you get to the age when you realize you’re not going to have time to read all the stuff you want to."

"I’m getting to that age."

Clearly he doesn't believe me. "Sure. Well, one day you'll see you just don’t have time to get through everything. So now if someone says Book X is good, I ask, ‘Yeah? Why?’"

So I say yeah, that’s why I decided to finally rent "Shortcuts" just last night. It’s this film based on short stories by Raymond Carver, who tells stories straight. No gloss. I saw another movie this week, "I (Heart) Huckabees."

Getting back to the play, Major Major kept shuffling around this window frame, which he brought onto the stage when it was his turn to talk. I thought this would be how Yossarian would make his exit, but I was wrong.

After letting go of Snowden, who turns blue on a hot day in August, Yossarian says, "Man without soul is just matter." That wasn't the end of the play, but it seemed the point where he left.

Date:Through February 25
Place:Theater Schmeater, 1500 Summit Ave., Capitol Hill
