Dear Friends,

The same day Blood Wedding closed (Oct 22), rehearsals for Atrocities began. Since then I've undergone a quick metamorphosis from my metaphysical "Moon-Death" to a woman who lost her brother during the war in Chechnya. I have replaced Flamenco rhythms with Tchaikovsky's tunes, and to everyone's disappointment, I remain fully clothed - again! Ironically, everyone else strips! =)  The play is disturbing. The best thing about it is the notion of immense appreciation of life and blessings we sometimes take for granted. Thank you for being there.

Love, Lejla.
