Other features of the production include the 30 genuine birch trees which line the stage courtesy of the Harvard Forest, Roy Kogan's performance of Chopin pieces to accompany the show, and the costumes--there won't be any; actors will wear their street clothes...
...executives got the news less than an hour before the public did. K&E hand-delivered a letter resigning the $75 million account, which was roughly like kicking Ford out the door at 55 m.p.h.

Outside of writing and reading, her chief activity was raising birds, and she regaled everyone with anecdotes about them, especially her beloved peacocks: "I used to say I wanted so many of them that every time I went out the door...
