Editorial LiveJournal: Mr. Gibbons goes to the theater!

It's been quite a while since a member of the Chronicle editorial board treated us to a diary of one of his/her grand adventures in the city of Houston in the form of an Editorial LiveJournal.

Bad things come to those who wait, however, as James Howard Gibbons has an account of his trip to the theater in today's Chronicle:

James Howard Gibbons
In this overstimulating age, I'm frequently tempted to say, "Oh, let someone else go out and get himself royally entertained." Fortunately, I resisted the temptation and went to see a production of Molière's The Miser, which runs through Sunday at the Alley Theatre.

This production of the 17th century French play, by Theatre de la Jeune Lune, adapts the script for today's audiences. But while the play now refers to Enron, the themes are dissimilar.

It seems kind of fitting that that Mr. Gibbons chose to write about an interpretive bastardization of Molière on a bastardization of a major newspaper editorial page.
