The Land of Green Plums stunned me when I read it. The four come together when one of their classmates hangs herself. Like her friends, she escaped the cultural oppression of her village only to be persecuted by the totalitarian regime. The story is told by a young woman who belongs to the ethnic German minority in Ceauşescu-ruled Romania. ![]() The Land of Green Plums begins with a song: ‘everyone had a friend in every wisp of cloud / that’s how it is with friends where the world is full of fear / even my mother said, that’s how it is / friends are out of the question / think of more serious things.’ So when I say the novel is about four friends, I use the word delicately. ![]() ![]() ![]() The actors in each and every role are superb and bring the story to life the way Shakespeare intended. What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? The sheer admiration and love Flewellen has for King Henry - both as his sovereign and as a fellow Welshman - for me must be among the best written and, in this case, best presented exchanges in theater. I particularly love the exchange between Flewellen and King Henry immediately following the Battle of Agincourt. However, there is pure gold to be found in the several appearances of Flewellen throughout the story. Both are worthy of an entry into the "English Language Hall of Fame" if there were such a thing. ![]() Of course, everyone remembers (and many can recite) Act III, Scene I and Act IV Scene III. ![]() What was one of the most memorable moments of Henry V?

Lincoln "Hellcat" and the President "The Ancient." Throughout the novel, Hay becomes more perceptive about Lincoln's complex personality, which helps deepen the reader's understanding as well. Young, inexperienced Presidential secretary John Hay is a particular favorite for describing events in the Cabinet room and the living quarters of the White House. Smooth segues facilitate multiple perspectives. Instead, he bounces from character to character to borrow their point of view. Rarely, however, does he lay out facts anonymously, even about something as trivial as the weather or scenery. He is often painted as a savant, manipulating both his opponents and allies to align with his will as he navigated the treacherous years of the American Civil War.
