Why wait? We can probably get started now. But if you want to see a wonderfully accurate portrayal of this, get ahold of "The Tall Guy" (Jeff Goldblum, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson). Funny as hell, as well. A more surreal version, also with Goldblum, is the mockumentary "Pittsburgh." You should watch it without foreknowledge, then watch again with the commentary. Jack Davenport is a legit Broadway star? I know him from "Coupling," the first Depp "Pirates" movie and "FlashForward," but I'm not aware of his theater work. -- TV or Not TV ....
