FOAL (Friends of the Anglophone Library) staged a play-reading on Valentine's weekend at the MLK Annexe. We had a large (~50 people) and receptive audience. One doesn't know, when rehearsing, whether the script's witty lines will provoke a reaction from the audience; many of them did.

We received many good wishes (of the break-a-leg variety!) from AWG - thank you all so much, and also for your kind words after the performance. Someone told me she had found it funny - but in the end, deeply moving.
Thank you to everyone for their support; we hope it was an enjoyable evening for everyone who attended. Those of us who put on the play - Philippe M and Caroline di M, the producers; Lawrence and Katharine, the performers; Phil C and Edwin H, the backstage video/sound guys; and Vicki M, President of FOAL who managed publicity for the event - enjoyed it immensely.
