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.

  4. Neither the Beales nor the Bouviers were ever "blue blooded."
