I'm pretty sure that Jefferson came back to play himself, using the name of Stephen Dillane. Come on, no one is THAT good of an actor, so I wonder how HBO or Tom Hanks got him to make a comeback?
I've got to say, he looks damn good!

The 92Y has a You Tube Channel and also an audio/video archive on their website. I've already emailed to request that they upload Monday's reading. So keep your fingers crossed, still there is nothing like seeing it in person.

Oops --I posted the link so people could bookmark it not because the SD talk is posted. Hope I didn't confuse anyone.

Good Morning!
Did anyone attend the reading at 92Y? I'd so much love to hear something about it.

I'm afraid this was treated as a "musical" performance rather than one of the "theatre."
And he needn't have gone to very much effort to find out that there was a connection and what it was.

NY TIMES again:
In ?One Evening,? which opens at Lincoln Center on Wednesday, the tenor Mark Padmore sings Schubert?s ?Winterreise? in a new English translation, but that?s not the only thing different about this take on the famous song cycle. As James R. Oestreich notes, this production ?adds a third haunting sensibility to those of Schubert and Wilhelm Müller, who wrote the ?Winter Journey? poems: that of Samuel Beckett, who loved Schubert and once wrote of ?Winterreise? that he was ?shivering through the grim journey again.? ? Beckett?s poems and prose are interwoven with the music in the production by Katie Mitchell, which also features the actor Stephen Dillane. Tonight, get an early glimpse of the Beckett angle at the 92nd Street Y, where the Poetry Center is hosting a reading of Beckett?s works and a discussion with Mr. Dillane.

Thanks, JM. I think that's the first time he's been singled out in the reviews for this movie--I think.

Here's a blog review of 44 Inch Chest.
http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2009/10/lff-09-review-44-inch-chest.html
Dillane, a tremendous stage actor whose film work has rarely matched his abilities, with the possible exception of Michael Winterbottom's "Welcome to Sarajevo," looks like he's really enjoying himself, as the shiftiest of Winstone's crew, and it shows - he walks away with several of the key scenes.

From today's NY TIMES:
Another British import, the actor STEPHEN DILLANE, is having a busy fall and winter in New York. While rehearsing for coming appearances with the Bridge Project, as Jacques in ?As You Like It? and Prospero in ?The Tempest,? Mr. Dillane is also performing as part of Lincoln Center?s New Visions series. Last week he recited T. S. Eliot?s ?Four Quartets? as part of an evening blending Eliot and Beethoven, and this week he turns to Samuel Beckett. Mr. Dillane reads selections from Beckett?s poetry and prose in a program that also includes the tenor Mark Padmore singing Schubert?s song cycle ?Winterreise.? The event, titled ?ONE EVENING? and inspired by Beckett?s admiration for Schubert, is directed by Katie Mitchell. Wednesday through Friday at 8 p.m., Gerald W. Lynch Theater, John Jay College, 899 10th Avenue, at 58th Street, Manhattan, (212) 721-6500 lincolncenter.org; $40 and $60.

Mark Padmore
As New Yorkers get ready to brave the ice, frost and snow, English tenor Mark Padmore joins us with a shivery assortment of music. We hear about Schubert's song-cycle Winterreise, which Padmore has performed with jazz pianist Ethan Iverson and is now taking to Lincoln Center in a new theater production featuring Samuel Beckett poems. And we?ll delve into Padmore?s recordings of Bach?s Christmas Cantatas and Handel?s Messiah, among other wintery favorites.
Monday, Dec 7, 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., WNYC-FM

Thanks Silly. That picture of Katie Mitchell is so funny. She looks like a 1930's movie star.
