Congratulations to @brittneygriner & @jrpsaki on their books published today. I got to talk to both of them in recent days. BG on life after her hostage ordeal — Q&A in @postopinons shortly — and Jen on a new layer of @yeganehsalehi & my saga she writes about in “Say More.”

.@ShakespeareinDC honors Indira Varma w/ The Will Award. She charmingly admits Shakespeare has scared her. You would never know it watching her as the brilliant Lady M in Macbeth. Not to be missed.
