Regarding Jess Bravin’s story on Joan Rivers...
Regarding Jess Bravin’s story on Joan Rivers in the May 20 edition of TV Times. Bravin quotes Rivers as saying, “I’d like to go to Williamsburg and do Lady Macbeth. . . .”
Either Rivers isn’t too up on theater or Bravin wrote her quote down wrong. Although Williamsburg, Va., is a lovely town noted for its preserved Colonial atmosphere, to my knowledge there is no famous theater there. I believe the reference was to Williamstown (Mass.), which does have a highly regarded and often celebrity studded summer theater program.
As a former Williamstown summer apprentice, I should know. Thanks for the chance to clarify.
