Friends, I want to encourage you all to take a well-deserved break from politics tomorrow afternoon and go see " Death of a Salesman" at French Creek Theater in Sheffield Lake. THE MATINEE IS AT 3 PM and it is the last performance of a perfectly brilliant production. Every once in a while a show hits it out of the park in text, direction, acting, and production values. This is one of those shows. Fred Sternfeld, the director, takes a masterpiece (Arthur Miller,) and accomplishes total clarity when going from the present to past, (no easy task,) and drawing nuance and broad dynamic range from every cast member. Greg White was wonderful when he played Willy Lomond at The Ensemble Theater Production. Tonight, IMHO, he went to another level, buoyed by the always engaged and compassionate Anne McEvoy as Linda, James Rankin (Biff ) and Jeremy Jankins (Happy), who were raw and believable in every moment. I cannot name every cast member here, but I can assure you that this is one of those magical productions where the play transcends any one individual and the talented cast soars as an ensemble to do it justice. I do have to mention, however, that Stuart Hoffman's in-character " choreography" to set his scene as Howard Wagner was as fluid as any dance moves you will ever see on DWTS!! We were mesmerized from the start to the heart-breaking end. Stephen & I ushered, so the first act we were sitting to the side, where all good ushers sit. At the intermission, Fred said, " There are two empty seats next to us, want to move?" Of course, I was in motion before he finished the question. I did not realize, however, that the seats were in the front row. As I began to cry for the last 20 minutes I held it together and then said to Fred. " I didn't want to disturb you by audibly sniffing out loud." His was response was " Oh, I like when that happens! " because that means that the actors have successfully broken through the "wall" and we are all sharing the emotional impact of the play. That also means, we talked about why it moved us so all the way home, and most likely, will be dissecting it tomorrow as well. The cast deserves a full house tomorrow and you deserve to see Cleveland Theater at it's finest. Peace, love and namaste, Evie Morris
