If you enjoy art inspiring art, or arcana, take a look at the Kage Baker novel "Rude Mechanicals." She set the novel at the rehearsals and production of the Max Reinhardt production at the Hollywood Bowl in 1934. To read her description is to read of magic in the production. To read her novel is to enter the Baker world of "The Company" and I won't even attempt to explain what that is all about. But, our favorites Joseph and Lewis, as usual working as an actor/stuntman, are tasked with saving the Reinhardt promptbooks for sale a few hundred years in the future. OK, I can not make this up: a lost diamond, a third century Pope, some theft and car chase, Reinhardt & Co in their Germanic best, and try to imagine Joseph costumed as Mr. Peanut. The original publication was limited edition, signed by the author, and I have just got to see this movie. Tom This film is a brilliant choice; I have long wanted to see it.
