Every morning I've been playing language games
The answer is: very annoying. I got bored on the recursive and infernal Verizon phone tree and made a list of plays—
The Lady's Not for Burning, Christopher Fry (1949)
A Dybbuk or Between Two Worlds, S. An-sky (1920)
The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe (1604)
The Revenger's Tragedy, Thomas Middleton (1606)
Amadeus, Peter Shaffer (1979)
Breaking the Code, Hugh Whitemore (1986)
Bacchae (Βάκχαι), Euripides (405 BCE)
4.48 Psychosis, Sarah Kane (2000)
Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare (1598/9)
The Big Broadcast of October 30, 1938, Rob Noyes, Neil Marsh & Alicia Goranson (2009)
I didn't include musicals or operas. Those could get a list of their own. Oh, God, I hope I won't have the time.

Thank you! I may have a phone by Monday. I will believe it when it arrives. And isn't a smartphone.

Hope you won't have to create another. At least not now.

Well, I'd need at least two theater companies and a time machine.

Thank you. Cautiously, I may have a phone by Monday. I reserve any further use of the indicative until I am actually holding the thing.

Thank you for asking—I actually got hold of people and the problem turned out to be more complex than the inhuman labyrinth of the phone tree, but I think it may result in a phone after all. I appreciate the offer, though!

So you're going to their first performances? O my! (That's a pretty damned awesome list.)

Yes, and I love it! I saw it in grad school as a double feature with Julie Taymor's Titus and then again a few years ago as part of an Alex Cox feature at the HFA. So good!
