Well, San Francisco's latest TV show, Trauma, may have just aired its last episode. The Nielsen Ratings are not that good and NBC needs to get itself out of the tank. I hope that somehow it will resurrect itself but right now it doesn't look good. This is a blow for local actors who were finally getting a well deserved chance at making inroads into network television. The show seemed to be employing more actors than Nash Bridges had fifteen years ago.
So here is what may be the final episode of the show. Let's hope not.

The Play
The Illusion is a play by Tony Kushner, adapted from Pierre Corneille's seventeenth-century comedy, L'Illusion Comique. It follows a contrite father, Pridamant, seeking news of his prodigal son from the sorcerer Alcandre. The magician conjures three episodes from the young man's life. Inexplicably, each scene finds the boy in a slightly different world where names change and allegiances shift. Pridamant watches, but only as the strange tale reaches its conclusion does he learn the ultimate truth about his son.The Illusion has a lighter mood than Kushner's most famous play, Angels in America, but the two plays share a love of poetic dialogue and theatricality.
