I WAS PERFORMING ON A SET FOR ANOTHER PLAY, BUT WE MANAGED to get a proper sofa arranged on it. At this point we hadn’t staged it, I was still just sitting there, talking.

We needed to hire a maid. We asked a friend of a friend of Mark’s. I’ve forgotten her name. My only memory of her was her complaint later that she caught a bad cold that night, and for weeks afterwards we heard how it developed into the flu and then pneumonia, and from there to a long hospital stay. I knew it would be hard to find anybody aside from a complete nut to play this role.

The house was packed and they roared. Afterwards people surrounded me. It was a thrilling night. I thought we were surely launched. A producer I knew, Edgar Rosenblum, was there, and I fished, “Well, what did you think?” He smiled enigmatically and said, “Ditch the maid.”
