A friend and I were on the subway, after attending a Broadway show. We boarded at 42nd and were engrossed in our conversation. Upon sitting and realizing I was sitting right next to someone, I looked down at their lap and saw a binder lying there with the words: Enemy of the People. I had seen the production last week and emailed anyone and everyone I knew that they must see it. I look up at the face of the person holding the binder, and the light begins to dawn. What do you have to do with that, I ask, pretty certain I know the answer. I’m in it, she says. Oh, say I, and you are who in the production? Petra, she replies. I look around the subway and say to one and al in a loud voice: You have got to go see this Broadway production. She is a lead and it is a fabulous play. It is timely and well costumed…. not sure how long I went on before returning to her, to tell her, obviously, how much I enjoyed her work. Maite Alina is her name
