Theatre UCF’s ‘Working’, 7:30 p.m. at Main Stage Theater, 12700 Pegasus Drive, Building 6, Orlando. Tickets are $10 to $25. Book tickets here. In advanced societies, some jobs and the people who perform them get taken for granted, but in this 2012 remake of the 1977 classic, everybody has a powerful voice, capable of shaking the very core of our everyday life. This version of Working features more contemporary pieces, including some written by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, and 26 characters all searching for meaning, hope, and truth in the relationship with their profession. Working contains strong language and adult content.




Notably: Today is the 82nd anniversary of the publication of Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, back in 1940. It ended up being the fourth-biggest book of 1940 in fiction, behind Mrs. Miniver, by Jan Struther (“a best-selling book and an Academy Award-winning movie,” Goodreads tells us about the novel about an ordinary woman), Kitty Foyle, by Christopher Morley (“a white-collar girl who falls in love with a young socialite”), and, atop the list, Richard Llewellyn’s How Green Was My Valley. Wikipedia tells us the book is “narrated by Huw Morgan, the main character, about his Welsh family and the mining community in which they live. The author had claimed that he based the book on his own personal experiences but this was found to be untrue after his death; Llewellyn was English-born and spent little time in Wales, though he was of Welsh descent.” John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, for my money the best book of the year (I have always had a low-grade aversion to Hemingway’s affectations, admirable though his books are in so many ways), was in eighth place. The Grapes of Wrath won the Pulitzer that year. In non-fiction, Mortimer Adler’s How to Read a Book got second place for the year, ironically followed by A Smattering of Ignorance, by Oscar Levant, although the levantine meant the title ironically, since he intends the book as a show-off concert of name-dropping of all the famous musicians he knew. The inevitable Joseph Alsop book is also on the non-fiction list (my aversion to all things Alsop is unqualified), as is a Van Wyck Brooks title (New England: Indian Summer), but the non-fiction list for that year is otherwise unremarkable.

Now this: An old favorite. For the subtitles, go here.

For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again for always to nowhere, now not to be borne once again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.

–From Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940).
