Don’t Make Me Look Too Psychotic
Anyone who has endured a bad relationship will appreciate the wit in Bruce Pachtman’s small-scale comedy, ‘Don’t Make Me Look Too Psychotic’. The story of a playwright who dates a woman that coaxes him to write a show about her. The play is a funny look at what it means to be a dysfunctional couple, as each person takes turns controlling each other with sex, mind games and alcohol. Pachtman’s dialogue is funny and insightful, and his play is one of the most refreshing romantic comedies to come along in some time.

The Klangbogen Wien 2000 summer festival includes performances of Beethoven’s complete 32 piano sonatas by nine young pianists in the Beethoven-Saal of the Baroque Palais Palffy. Representing the true origins of the solo piano genre, the sonata season kicks off with the first three Sonatas performed by Paul Gulda, son of the famous classical and jazz pianist Friedrich Gulda who died earlier this year. Other recommended concerts include that of Austrian Roland Batik who takes on Sonatas 18-22. A fine opportunity to hear Beethoven’s most touching pieces in an incomparable historic setting.
