 ## Notes

After attending this fascinating Q&A session, I'm a bit disappointed that I was unable to also attend any of the performances, but that's par for the course: there's **always** too many good things going on around here! Hopefully I'll get a change to see the play some other time.

Miegan Riddle posted a bunch of [pictures](http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=dfaee884bf43b069&sid=8EcNGLFq5aMwo) from the event on Shutterfly.

Rachel Howard posted a brief [interview](http://www.sfgate.com/performance/article/Puppets-star-in-post-apartheid-Ubu-and-the-Truth-6229136.php) with June Taylor that echoes many of the notions discussed in our Q&A session.
