Yoduk Story Updates
There will be a press conference this morning at 10 a.m. at the National Press Club. I wish I had more lead time for you, but I don’t.
I also had a chance to glance at the translated script. It isn’t perfect, but its pretty good, considering that all of the script appears to have finalized long before any of us starting asking about it. I also got to meet some of the cast last night; an impressive group.\
It doesn’t look like President or Mrs. Bush will be there, which on further reflection is probably not that bad a development. Yes, they would attract a lot of attention, but that would include a lot of the wrong kind, and give the event a more partisan tone.
It’s good that they finally got somebody to proofread it well. I guess that they didn’t need me after all.
Tell them to break a leg. In the good, thespian sense, of course.
I’m curious how it will be received. The religious tone could alienate some (as it did one commenter here), and the plot is somewhat unbelievable, but the performance had a certain undeniable power.
I was impressed, anyway … not that my reaction is authoritative.
