  • Liar's Poker Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street
    Liar's Poker By Michael Lewis I Preface I WAS A BOND salesman, on Wall Street and in London. Working beside traders at Salomon Brothers put me, I believe, at the epicenter of one of those events that help to define an age. Traders are masters of the quick killing, and a lot of the killings in the past ten years or so have been quick. And Salomon Brothers was indisputably the king of traders. What I have tried to do here, without, as it were, leaving my seat on the Salomon trading floor, is to describe and explain the events and the attitudes that characterized the era; the story occasionally tails away from me, but it is nonetheless my story throughout. The money I did not make and the lies I did not tell I still understood in a personal way because of my position. That was somewhere near the center of a modern gold rush. Never before have so many unskilled twenty-four-year-olds made so much money in so little time as we did this decade in New York and London. There has never before been such a fantastic exception to the rule of the marketplace that one takes out no more than one puts in. Now I do not object to money. I generally would rather have more than less. But I'm not holding my breath waiting for another windfall What happened was a rare and amazing glitch in the fairly predictable history of getting and spending. It should be said that I was, by the standards we use to measure ourselves, a success.

  • TONY® WINNER FRANK GALATI HELMS RHINOCEROS Runs February 7 - April 14
    RHINOCEROS Page 1 of 6 ***For Immediate Release*** January 10, 2018 TONY® WINNER FRANK GALATI HELMS RHINOCEROS Runs February 7 - April 14 "The magic of this piece is that it is just as believable as it is ludicrous, just as chilling as it is humorous. Ionesco allows the audience to escape reality in order to see the world in a brand new way." — Michael Donald Edwards, Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director (SARASOTA, January 10, 2018) — Asolo Repertory Theatre continues its rep season with Eugène Ionesco's RHINOCEROS. It is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Frank Galati, who, with the support of the Ionesco estate, has streamlined the script from the original three acts to two, making it more relevant to today's audience. The satirical comic masterpiece previews February 7 and 8, opens February 9 and runs in rotating repertory through April 14 in the Mertz Theatre, located in the FSU Center for the Performing Arts. A farce, a tragedy, a brilliant experiment for the mind, RHINOCEROS is both a wildly fresh satire and a poetic reminder of the consequences of following the herd. In a quaint French village, the townspeople are mysteriously and inexplicably transforming. One by one, they are forced to confront their own humanity, morality, and individuality. A master of absurdist theatre, Ionesco penned RHINOCEROS in the aftermath of World War II, and its exploration of the dangers of conforming and losing one's voice remain just as poignant and powerful today as ever. -more- RHINOCEROS Page 2 of 6 "I am always intrigued by what production will spark Frank Galati's genius imagination each season, and was thrilled when we landed on the rarely seen RHINOCEROS," said Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards.
