BETTY BUCKLEY
I had the pleasure of attending the screening of "Betty Buckley: In Performance & In Person" this past Tuesday evening at the The Players Club in Gramercy Park. The documentary, which includes footage from Buckley's most recent Bottom Line gig, will delight BB's fans, both new and old. The 84-minute film -- to be aired some time next year on American television -- also features interviews with Buckley and many of her strongest advocates: writer Peter Stone; actor F. Murray Abraham; producers Roger Hess and Kevin Duncan; actress Ellen Burstyn, who became a fan and friend of Buckley's after seeing her in Sunset Boulevard (she subsequently returned to catch her performance in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical three more times); composer Stephen Schwartz (who changed the sheet music to "Meadowlark" after hearing Buckley's wonderful interpretation of that Baker's Wife tune); pianist/musical conductor Kenny Werner; as well as her mom, Betty Bob Buckley, and brother Norman.

Ooh, mid-October!

BETTY BUCKLEY
It's the power of love, both loving and being loved, both physical and emotional, that is explored in Nicky Silver's latest offering, The Eros Trilogy, currently at the Vineyard Theatre and starring the always inspiring Betty Buckley. When love and/or sex is present -- gay, straight, mother to son, son to mother, in or outside of marriage -- anything is possible, but when it's absent, life is at best -- according to Silver -- bearable, and, at worst, perhaps not worth living. The work is divided into three parts: two wrenching monologues, the first by Buckley as Claire and the second by Zak Orth as her son, Philip. The final and most enjoyable section is a series of letters -- written over nearly three decades between another son and mother -- read and illuminated by Buckley (as Miriam) and T. Scott Cunningham (as Miriam's son, Roger).
