Not only that, but now we all know that Midsummer has a trap door effect! Way to spoil the surprise that might have been. <BR/><BR/>Not to be flippant, I really do wish him a speedy recovery. But not because of his stature. Just like Corzine should've worn a seatbelt, Sullivan should have left any technical glitches to the trained experts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-89443355007688703252007-08-03T10:47:00.000-04:002007-08-03T10:47:00.000-04:00Dan Sullivan is one of the most respected American...Dan Sullivan is one of the most respected American directors currently working. If he needs to go on stage to demonstrate something, I think he might have a little bit more authority to do so than you're willing to grant.<BR/><BR/>For the record it was their first day on stage and they were having their tour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-20953405035654991912007-08-02T20:03:00.000-04:002007-08-02T20:03:00.000-04:00I wish him well, but what was he doing on the stag...I wish him well, but what was he doing on the stage?!<BR/><BR/>Please tell me he's not one of those directors who insist on treading up there to give notes.<BR/><BR/>That's where the actors belong!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-70264310178154437772007-08-02T12:48:00.000-04:002007-08-02T12:48:00.000-04:00Thank you for that, anon.

(And if I'd known I might have picked a less flippant headline.)<BR/><BR/>Two things to keep in mind:<BR/>- Sullivan is not a young, nor even from what I know of him an especially fit man, perhaps exacerbating any injury.<BR/>- This is the season Sullivan is taking over the reins of MTC, remember, for the "on leave" Lynn Meadows. They must be taking special interest as well.Playgoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994724588504353485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-54429792626277741572007-08-02T12:14:00.000-04:002007-08-02T12:14:00.000-04:00Wishes go out to him, indeed.

I'm told it could have been more serious if not for some quick-thinking actors, however Sullivan is still in the hospital and hopefully will be released to home rest by the end of this week- he's running a very high fever at the moment. He's not expected back to the production - I wonder if this will alter the way people approach and view this production...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
