00:00:38,033 --> 00:00:44,533

MAY BECOME A QUEEN?

25
00:00:55,033 --> 00:01:01,933

26
00:00:58,066 --> 00:01:04,900
>>  SHE IS RUNNING AS FAST AS

27
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:07,066
SHE CAN.

28
00:01:01,933 --> 00:01:09,100
YOU SAY IT IS MODERN.

29
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:14,833
>>  THERE ARE ONLY FIVE ACTORS

30
00:01:07,066 --> 00:01:16,466
AND EVERYONE IS NOT ONLY A

31
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:19,800

00:01:29,066 --> 00:01:33,066
BACK IN 1 MILLION DIFFERENT

38
00:01:30,933 --> 00:01:34,466
DISGUISES.

39
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:35,566
ALSO THEY MUST HAVE AN OXYGEN

40
00:01:33,066 --> 00:01:38,533
MACHINE BACKSTAGE BECAUSE THEY

41
00:01:34,466 --> 00:01:40,533
JUST GO FOR 90 MINUTES.

42
00:01:35,566 --> 00:01:46,733
IT IS VERY CLEVER.

43
00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:48,666
TWO ACTRESSES ARE ALTERNATING

44
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:49,866
IN THE ALICE ROLL.

45
00:01:46,733 --> 00:01:51,866
>>  IN TERMS OF THE

46
00:01:48,666 --> 00:01:52,666
FAITHFULNESS OF THE MATERIAL

47
00:01:49,866 --> 00:01:54,733
WHAT WOULD LEWIS CARROLL MAKE

48
00:01:51,866 --> 00:01:56,700
OF IT?

49
00:01:52,666 --> 00:01:58,733
>>  I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE

50
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:59,900
SEEN IT WITH LEWIS CARROLL

51
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:00,933
BECAUSE I THINK HE WOULD HAVE

52
00:01:58,733 --> 00:02:02,900
THOUGHT HOW THEY COULD MAKE

53
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,766
THIS REAL.

54
00:02:00,933 --> 00:02:07,466
EVERYTHING HE DID IN TERMS OF

55
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:11,000
MEANINGS AND TIME AND RHYMES

56
00:02:04,766 --> 00:02:13,000
AND RIDDLES, IT ALL BECOMES

57
00:02:07,466 --> 00:02:16,933
REAL ON THE STAGE.

58
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,233
I SAW ADULTS LOOKING AT IT LIKE

59
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:22,233
THIS, SORT OF IT'S A GREAT

60
00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:23,500
SHOW.

61
00:02:17,233 --> 00:02:25,533
NOT TOO YOUNG BUT CHILDREN

62
00:02:22,233 --> 00:02:27,666
CERTAINLY WOULD LOVE IT.

63
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:29,600
>>  OUR NEXT SHOW IS SOMETHING

64
00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:30,566
THAT WAS A LOT OF CONTROVERSY

65
00:02:27,666 --> 00:02:32,600
IT'S CALLED THE "THE TESTAMENT

66
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:37,033
OF MARY".

67
00:02:30,566 --> 00:02:39,033
>>  THIS IS A ONE WOMAN SHOW

68
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:40,533
THE FAMOUS IRISH NOVELIST.

69
00:02:37,033 --> 00:02:43,600
YOU COULD SAY IT'S A BIT

70
00:02:39,033 --> 00:02:43,933
HERETICAL SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY

71
00:02:40,533 --> 00:02:47,000
THAT BUT I SAY IT'S KIND OF

72
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,400
REALISM.

73
00:02:43,933 --> 00:02:49,533
IT'S TAKING THE GREATEST STORY

74
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,266
EVER TOLD BUT BEING TOLD BY THE

75
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,300
SO-CALLED VIRGIN MARY.

76
00:02:49,533 --> 00:02:56,233
SHE DENIES THAT SHE IS.

77
00:02:53,266 --> 00:02:58,366
LATER IN LIFE.

78
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:59,466
SHE LOOKS BACK AT THE VERY

79
00:02:56,233 --> 00:03:01,566
WORST EVENT OF HER LIFE WHICH

80
00:02:58,366 --> 00:03:04,133
WAS THE LOST OF HER SON.

81
00:02:59,466 --> 00:03:05,300
WE HAVE A CLIP IN WHICH WE SEE

82
00:03:01,566 --> 00:03:07,833
MARY TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE

83
00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:11,600
FIRST STARTED TO SEND HER SON

84
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:12,666
WAS MOVING AWAY FROM HER.

85
00:03:07,833 --> 00:03:14,166
THEY HAD BEEN CLOSE AND NOW HE

86
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:20,400
WAS MOVING AWAY.

87
00:03:12,666 --> 00:03:22,300
>>  I DID NOT EAT MUCH.

88
00:03:14,166 --> 00:03:23,600
AND I DO NOT REMEMBER THE FOOD.

89
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,466
ALTHOUGH MY SON AND I SAT

90
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:28,133
BESIDE EACH OTHER FOR MORE THAN

91
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:29,066
TWO HOURS WE DID NOT SPEAK.

92
00:03:25,466 --> 00:03:31,100
THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD HAVE

93
00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:32,333
SPOKEN UP.

94
00:03:29,066 --> 00:03:33,266
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE

95
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:37,233
SPEAKING TO THE STARS OR THE

96
00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:38,333
FULL MOON.

97
00:03:33,266 --> 00:03:39,133
>>  THAT IS ACTRESS LINDA

98
00:03:37,233 --> 00:03:41,166
WRIGHT SHE DOES A WONDERFUL

99
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:46,766
JOB.

100
00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:48,766
IT SOUNDS VERY DARK AND IT IS

101
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:50,766
DARK BUT IT IS ALSO VERY FUNNY.

102
00:03:46,766 --> 00:03:52,733
AND SHE IS WONDERFUL AND SHE

103
00:03:48,766 --> 00:03:54,766
DESCRIBES HIS FOLLOWERS IT'S

104
00:03:50,766 --> 00:03:56,800
KIND OF LIKE A'60S CALLED SHE

105
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:58,933
CALLS THEM THE TWITCH YOURS AND

106
00:03:54,766 --> 00:04:02,200
THE MISFITS AND THEY ARE

107
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,500
OBVIOUSLY OUTCASTS ALL OF THEM

108
00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:04,266
AND SHE IS VERY MOCKING ABOUT

109
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,233
THEM.

110
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:08,266
SHE IS BEING PURSUED BY THE

111
00:04:04,266 --> 00:04:09,466
WRITER OF THE GOSPEL, ONE OF

112
00:04:06,233 --> 00:04:11,566
THE WRITERS OF THE GOSPEL AND

113
00:04:08,266 --> 00:04:13,500
SHE WILL HAVE NONE OF IT.

114
00:04:09,466 --> 00:04:15,500
>>  FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE PLAY

115
00:04:11,566 --> 00:04:16,366
YOU RIGHT SHE NOTES THAT SHE

116
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,100
THOUGHT RAISING LAZARUS WAS A

117
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:24,466
MISTAKE.

118
00:04:16,366 --> 00:04:24,733
>>  RATIONALE IS THAT HUMAN

119
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:26,533
BEING SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING

120
00:04:24,466 --> 00:04:27,600
GOD.

121
00:04:24,733 --> 00:04:29,633
THAT IS KIND OF A TOUCHY

122
00:04:26,533 --> 00:04:31,833
SUBJECT TO SAY THAT.

123
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,066
AND ALSO YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

124
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:35,033
NATURE AND SHE THOUGHT THAT IS

125
00:04:31,833 --> 00:04:36,066
WHAT THAT WAS AND SHE THOUGHT

126
00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:38,866
IN PART THAT WAS WHY HE BECAME

127
00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:40,466
SO DANGEROUS.

128
00:04:36,066 --> 00:04:42,400
>>  WHAT DOES THE AUDIENCE TAKE

129
00:04:38,866 --> 00:04:45,566
AWAY FROM THIS DO YOU THINK?

130
00:04:40,466 --> 00:04:46,466
WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY?

131
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,766
>>  I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE

132
00:04:45,566 --> 00:04:50,033
WATCHED THIS WITH POPE FRANCIS

133
00:04:46,466 --> 00:04:52,866
AND AFTERWARD I WOULD HAVE

134
00:04:48,766 --> 00:04:54,133
LIKED TO HAVE SAT DOWN WITH HIM

135
00:04:50,033 --> 00:04:55,166
AND SAID WELL, YOU ARE A MODERN

136
00:04:52,866 --> 00:04:55,533
THINKER IN MANY WAYS IS THIS

137
00:04:54,133 --> 00:04:57,166
BABY THE WAY IT REALLY

138
00:04:55,166 --> 00:04:57,433
HAPPENED?

139
00:04:55,533 --> 00:05:02,100
THAT IS WHAT I TOOK AWAY FROM

140
00:04:57,166 --> 00:05:04,366
IT.

141
00:04:57,433 --> 00:05:06,200
>>  THE UNKNOWABLE.

142
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:08,466
NEXT IS SORT OF A HOLIDAY SHOW

143
00:05:04,366 --> 00:05:13,400
I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT YOU

144
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:15,333
THOUGHT OF THE " THE HUMANS".

145
00:05:08,466 --> 00:05:15,733
>>  IT ALREADY HAS A DATE IN

146
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,833
NEW YORK WITH A DIFFERENT

147
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:18,233
PRODUCTION.

148
00:05:15,733 --> 00:05:20,466
I THINK YOU CAN EITHER LOVE IT

149
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:23,033
OR HATE IT OR START OUT HATING

150
00:05:18,233 --> 00:05:24,766
IT IN AT THE END LOVING IT.

151
00:05:20,466 --> 00:05:29,433
IT'S ABOUT A FAMILY,

152
00:05:23,033 --> 00:05:31,366
DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY THAT

153
00:05:24,766 --> 00:05:32,533
GATHERS AT THANKSGIVING AND A

154
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:34,466
REALLY CRUMMY APARTMENT IN NEW

155
00:05:31,366 --> 00:05:35,633
YORK THAT HASN'T HAD THE

156
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:40,600
FURNITURE MOVED IN YEARS AND

157
00:05:34,466 --> 00:05:42,633
EACH ONE HAS PROBLEMS.

158
00:05:35,633 --> 00:05:43,666
WE SEE A PAIR IN WHICH THEY ARE

159
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,200
SITTING AT DINNER AND THEY ARE

160
00:05:42,633 --> 00:05:47,233
SAYING GRACE AND THE

161
00:05:43,666 --> 00:05:51,433
GRANDMOTHER WITH DEMENTIA

162
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:53,400
SUDDENLY HOOKS ONTO SOMETHING.

163
00:05:47,233 --> 00:05:58,766
>>  FROM MY BOUNTY TO CHRIST

164
00:05:51,433 --> 00:05:59,033
OUR LORD, AMEN.

00:06:01,633 --> 00:06:07,166
DON'T WAIT.

170
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:12,000
>>  EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT.

171
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:13,100
>>  YES.

172
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:15,666
>>  IT IS A RAINBOW CHARD SALAD

173
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,233
PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS.

174
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:22,666
>>  YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

175
00:06:15,666 --> 00:06:28,033

>>  DIG A HOLE SHOWER.

177
00:06:22,666 --> 00:06:35,700
>>  SO I THINK IF YOU CAN SAY

178
00:06:28,033 --> 00:06:37,733
THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS GOING

179
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:39,933
ON LIKE EVERYBODY HAS TOO MANY

180
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:41,200
THINGS GOING ON IN THEIR LIFE.

181
00:06:37,733 --> 00:06:43,166
THERE IS THE DEMENTIA, THERE IS

182
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:44,300
THE LOSS OF A FINANCIAL FUTURE.

183
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,233
THERE IS A HEALTH SCARE.

184
00:06:43,166 --> 00:06:48,300
>>  THERE IS A SCANDAL.

185
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:50,833
>>  THERE IS A SCANDAL.

186
00:06:46,233 --> 00:06:52,733
THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP OF THE

187
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:56,833
YUPPIE GIRL AND HER BOYFRIEND

188
00:06:50,833 --> 00:06:58,700
WHO HAS DEPRESSION AND SHE'S

189
00:06:52,733 --> 00:07:00,833
NOT EVERYTHING SHE'S CRACKED UP

190
00:06:56,833 --> 00:07:02,733

192
00:07:00,833 --> 00:07:06,766
OF HIS TECHNIQUES.

193
00:07:02,733 --> 00:07:08,000
EITHER AT SOME POINT YOU GO

AND THEY JUST HAPPEN TO ALL BE

197
00:07:10,033 --> 00:07:15,966
AT THE SAME TABLE.

198
00:07:11,133 --> 00:07:16,366
>>  A TABLE MOST PEOPLE WOULD

199
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:18,666
PROBABLY NOT WANT TO BE AT.

207
00:07:26,933 --> 00:07:30,766

208
00:07:28,166 --> 00:07:31,166

209
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,466
