Ginger’s Home
I like this theme: friends’ houses. Here’s an inside look at Ginger’s. By the way, the grown-up version of the cat-holding little girl in the photograph is in Theatermania’s production of Jean Genet’s “The Maids.”

Ginger has one of the most beautiful homes and backyards that i have ever been to. Remember many great times at her house for parties or just dinners, and that picture hanging over the couch feels like part of my childhood. Speaking of which, is that a new couch?

I am planning to post a full review of Ms. S’s Boston/ salon debut after Friday night’s performance.

Hey Michael and Matt,
My heart is full. What can I say. Not a new couch, but it looks pinker in that light than in some others.

Hi Michael,
What a nice idea – I love these pictures of Ginger’s house. I agree w. Matt – one of the prettiest yards I’ve ever seen. I too have so many good memories of this house over the years – I love visiting this house and its owners! I always feel welcome and comfortable, with Meher Baba keeping watch over us all.
Thank you!

Ginger’s home is truly wonderful. But, of course, it would be even if it were a cardboard box under a bridge!

‘Tis indeed beautiful (and oh so artfully photographed), but why is it presented as “Ginger’s” … ? I vaguely recall seeing a smiling, balding lawyer type about most times I’ve been there. Nice guy. I think he lives there.

So,…The Maids with Ms.Molly S.
The scene was perfect, the beautiful salon of the actual hostess and mistress in the play, in her lovely antique home in Wellesley. Her part was minor, though, with the action rivetted to the force-field between the two maids. Molly’s character as the younger sister was compelling,softer, more impulsive, spontaneous and ambivalent than her sister, who began as constricted, depressed and angry, but simmered to a psychotic climax.
Genet was clearly no stranger to hatred, and the play was dark, but Molly was wonderful, commanding from the first scene and playing the erotic chemistry between her and her sister maid with aplomb. These young actesses held the small audience hostage to their relationship and their and our immersion in the grim tale. The level of talent required to pull this off was a proud and happy after-thought.
