We received a note from our friend Elyse Sommer, Editor and Publisher of CurtainUp.com, explaining why all the stories they've posted since March 18 seem to have disappeared from that site. Elyse explains the technical glitch:
"CurtainUp's server was sold and migrated to another server but we somehow did not receive notice to re-register the domain name. Consequently, as of last Thursday at around 8pm, everything suddenly went crazy and while we had made an upload just a couple of hours earlier and things are at the site as of April 15th, that's not what shows up. We also can't upload anything. While we've sent notices about what's going on to people on our email list, some people logging on may be confused at this outdated front page. I'm hoping this will resolve itself by the end of the weekend."
We hope Elyse's terrific site is back to "full health" soon!

[ DN ] The fabric of life in New York by Howard Kissel
Lynn Nottage's "Intimate Apparel" is a deeply mo-ving portrait of Esther, a middle-aged African-American woman who arrives in New York in 1905. Right now, New York has no richer play.

'Shakespeare's Songbook' charming by Michael Pakenham
"Shakespeare's Songbook" (Norton, 496 pages, $39.95, including audio CD) contains lyrics and melodies of more than 160 songs, commentary on the songs, plus a recording of more than half of them by established early-music performers. The idea itself is delightful, and the result more than fulfills that promise.
