Even Greyer Gardens

Last weekend I attended a very small dramatic affair, "After the Garden: Edith Beale Live at Reno Sweeney". A drag of a cabaret show held at Miss Pixies.

Jeffrey Johnson, artistic director of Ganymede Arts, plays Edith Beale beautifully. He was able to emulate the very distinctively blue-blooded cadence of little Edie in an almost too eerie way. I laughed, I drank, I laughed some more, and for a moment or two I sat quietly thoughtful. If you're in the DC area I highly recommend a trip to Miss Pixies for entertainment, libation, and procurement of fantastically original pieces second only to the originality of the Edith Beale doppelganger.
