Hi, fandom.
Please enjoy this photo of me absolutely losing my shit over Pamโs cat, Phoebe.
(Photo taken just after the SSE live last night, when I made a fool of myself while chatting with Pam and Atko. Good times!) ๐
Dang, I love moral ambiguity in plays!
Iโm curious as to whether or not Doubt still works nowadays. I mean, of course its ambiguity is timeless, but in an era when not choosing sides has kind of become a form of choosing sides, does ambiguity still work in the same way? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@htmi_ashley YAY FOR BIRTHDAY SUSHI AND FLAN!!!
And if running makes you feel strong and happy, then an extra yay! (But give a big birthday middle finger to fat loss cultureโyouโre awesome as you are)!
So over on Instagram, weโre debating the big issues:
Do Pam and the cast/crew get to choose their own cubbies (maybe by height), or are they assigned by alphabetical order?
THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONSโฆ ๐
This may be one of my favourite Pam interviews ever, even if the interviewer is strangely obsessed with her accent. PEOPLE IMMIGRATE, SIMON.
PS: I tend to have very different taste from Pamela in art & plays, but VERY similar taste in music. It means nothing, but itโs cool! ๐๐๐ป
Full disclosure: when these awards were first announced (without this one), I was like: umโฆ did Pam just get snubbed? ๐
Oh me of little faithโฆ ๐
YAY! NEW AWARD! Congratulations to Pam and all involved with August: Osage County! ๐๐๐
Congrats to Pamela Rabe for winning the 2026 Performing Arts WA Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Interstate Artist (Theatre) for August: Osage County by Black Swan State Theatre Company & Belvoir St Theatre! ๐ฅณ
Spoiler? Iโm reading the novel of Pamโs play. I thought Iโd hate it, but I LOVE it.
But Iโve come to pg 59, & to this final sentence, andโฆ sheโs going to die, isnโt she? At the end?
Blake is all about the synthesis of oppositions, so it fits, BUT I AM EMOTIONALLY INVESTED. ๐ญ
Also: PLEASE DONโT TELL ME if she dies or not. Iโm still only at the very beginning of the text, so itโs just the vibe I get. (But the other vibe is that Mrs D kind of has some struggles with the truth, soโฆ who knows?)
Last night brought a GIANT thunderstorm (possibly tornado), & at 2am I sat in my basement while sirens blared & outside sounded like a freight train.
Today I lost electricity & tried to fix the house siding that had blown off.
Tonight I do my taxes.
Adulting sucks.๐๐ญ
@V_Musings You get the sense that that author was like โWTF is happening with this thing,โ and then was happily surprised! ๐
(Admittedly, we were ALL wondering what was up with those cancellations and delays! ๐ I guess some plays just have rocky starts! Iโd still LOVE to see this one)!
