As I said, I'm reformatting with the new "Blogger Beta" and my technical incompetence is just slowing down an already confusing process.<br /><br />But the good news is it seems the new format will make the links even easier to insert and display.<br /><br />Soon, I promise!Playgoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994724588504353485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-40402253602418001502007-02-07T13:24:00.000-05:002007-02-07T13:24:00.000-05:00Isherwood seems always to hate plays by TV writers...Isherwood seems always to hate plays by TV writers, even if they were once playwrights.
