Ray Bradbury's Wisdom

26 December 2009, 12:05 PM

Here is a scan of the front and the back of the postcard for Ray's next play series. It will continue with the ballet, now titled 2116, and add a second act, titled 1916.<BR><BR>The ballet is from Happy Anniversary 2116, originally written for Elsa Lanchester and Charles Laughton to have been directed by James Whale.<BR><BR>The second act, 1916, is taken from the short story The Better Part of Wisdom. It is a truly lovely story about a grandfather's unconditional love for his grandson.

Mr. Xxx

What became of the 1916 act? The postcard at the Fremont Center now mentions only the 2116 ballet.

I've added a photo of Norman Cowrin's visit to see Ray's play. Ray is 89 years young and Norman is 99 years young.

Hi All,
Thought y'all would enjoy these photos I took at Ray's play on February 6, 2010. I absolutely loved the performance. The music, dance, actors, and of course the writing - all a joy to behold. If I had been in LA longer I would have seen it several times.
