I haven't seen it--it was at a nearby megaplex but stayed only a week--of course I WILL, if only to see Johnny Depp in full Restoration rig! As to Wilmot having wasted his talents, though, I have to object: there's that hugely obscene play he wrote, and then of course he's part of the original circle of CRIBBAGE-players (was it John Suckling who invented it for the pleasure of Charles, or did John Wilmot himself invent it? can't recall). Cribbage got me through grad school and was the vehicle for my meeting some really great lobstermen one night in a Boothbay Harbor bar.... --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy and amateur costumer
