Prudence

Nat and I went to see the Bernard Shaw play Misalliance this evening. The first half was slow, but it proved to be a good setup for the second half, which was quite entertaining. We were both surprised by the presence of some rather modern-sounding femenist ideas in this pre-World War work. There was also a bit about socialism that certainly came before Red October. Nat recognized one of the actresses as a former TA of his, and I saw a student from my James Joyce class in the row ahead of me. We went back to his place afterward to sip wine and and discuss art, women, and religion (seperately and in certain combinations). After what I suspect came to about three glasses I was far more prepared for bed than debate, so we called it a night, disagreeing on friendly terms.
