I also love following you on twitter. I'm currently in the production of Bengal Tiger and I can't wait for you to check it out. Moises has done some really cool work. You're amazing.

I have my own blog and I tend to use it as a type of therapy for myself... an outlet. Although as not to hurt friends and family's feelings, I do have to censor sometimes.

But I could have meet you and that would have been a added good for me. People change skins over a lifetime one over another or they just falloff in the end it gets down to the bones.

We were deeply moved by the play from beginning to end: the performances, the writing, the staging, the music - everything was perfectly orchestrated in the way only great plays and great actors can combine to deliver a wonderful theatrical experience. And Ms. Fonda, it was a treat to see you performing live on stage. Thank you. Martha My husband and I saw 33 VARIATIONS on Sunday 4/26.

She is improving although they tell me her dementia is so advanced that she may not have very long to live. She is only 71. I've been staying at the hospital and reading The Year of Magical Thinking and I am blown away by Joan Didion's accounts of dealing with hospitals/doctors/diagnoses and her experience with grief and mourning. (We have a very similar approach to it all. Knowledge and information.) I hadn't heard of this book until your blog, Jane, and then a friend lent it to me while I was in the hospital a month ago. Amazing. I am grappling with whether or not to fly to NYC on the 12th. Time with Mama is precious. It is only a 2 day trip, but I do not like going even 1 day without seeing Mama. She is amazing. She is my hero. I keep reminding myself that she would definitely want me to go. I could ask her right now if she were in one of her more lucid moments and she would say, "Go!" We'll see how she is doing. I have to constantly remind myself to live in the moment, be present, and accept what comes as it comes. The Buddhists got in going on, no doubt.

I'm so happy you decided to be a part of this show, as it is quite special and unique, and because it was wonderful to finally see you perform live (a first in my lifetime). I hope that you return to the stage again...don't wait another 40+ years!

Can you walk us through what it is like to leave a character you have been playing either in a movie or on stage? I am imagining it is extremely difficult and almost depressing. What types of things do you do/thoughts to prepare for the disconnect? I am really bummed I won't be able to see your play :-( I wanted to so badly, but can't find the time to make it to NYC, life is a little to hectic right now. Best, Steve Hi Jane,
