Peter's summer of Shakespeare acting love can now be revealed: Five weeks of training in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. His Bottom (!) was a triumph.
Elizabeth, thanks so much for your Off-Broadway guides in the Times. It's so hard to know what to check out, and I trust your opinion implicitly. At your recommendation, I saw "Well, I'll Let You Go" which was one of my all-time favorite theatre experiences. I just printed out your piece for September recommendations. Again, thanks for the piece and for your wonderful podcast.
Congratulations, Peter! What a wonderful thing to have done! And to now continue with Patrick Page. I'm so happy to hear the joy in your voice. I love your podcast....it got me through the theater desert that was COVID.
Oldllistener and although I love this broadcast Shakespeare with Peter..I did like the podcast format when Terry was with us. He and you all had interesting things but always brought it back to the consumer as these are the plays either in NY (my pref) or otherwise to see. I found it much more satisfying. This is the second or third time I have made my opinion about this done but have not seen any consistent recommdations…. Will not upgrade to $ until see this. Still listen however and still mourn Terry
Hi Kathleen -- just to be clear: you would like more regular recommendations for what to see? I am a Tony nominator now, so Broadway recs are off limits to me until I complete my 3 year assignment, but Elisabeth is free to opine and suggest and the rest of the theater world remains open to us. So I will talk to Elisabeth about how we might make this a regular feature.
Thanks Pete. Heard shoutout to me on podcast. Between you on. Tony’s and Elizabeth w NYTimes responsibilities . Hard to recommend. Nothing like old days
This is amazing! Congrats, Peter. And thanks for doing this podcast about it. It's truly inspiring. Never too late!
Thanks so much Ken!

Aww, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed that show. I absolutely loved it.

Thank you Susan, it is indeed pure joy for me!
Such fun to imagine you as Romeo or Bottom, Peter! Or simply wrestling your way through RADA. Thanks to you and Elizabeth for a terrific episode.
Nancy! So lovely to hear from you! We'll see how this new journey turns out!
A great broadcast, which I can only hope will be followed up soon with some samples of Peter and Caitlin’s soliloquies! How wonderful.
And it’s true — Peter, who I knew as a reporter many years ago, has always had a terrific voice.
Thanks Paul. Available for bar mitzvahs, weddings, and impromptu backyard productions!

Of course Terry is irreplaceable. It's just different now. But thanks for sticking around nevertheless!
