		LESBIAN WRITER PAULA VOGEL is one of the most prolific and awarded playwrights of her generation.
		Vogel’s work first came to Sherman’s attention when she saw “The Baltimore Waltz.” At the time she saw the play, Sherman was losing a friend to AIDS.
		But as Vogel demonstrates in her comic deconstruction of Shakespeare's play, aligning tongue-in-cheek humor while raising serious questions as to the role of women through the ages, Desdemona was far from the quivering waif we've all come to know.

	Nifty puppetry nails emotional core of 'The Long Christmas Ride Home'
		A traumatic childhood incident has far-reaching consequences for the three siblings in Paula Vogel's "The Long Christmas Ride Home." While they remain children, and as long as they're played by puppets, the audience may share their discomfort, and even internalize its long-range consequences, in the West Coast premiere that opened Saturday at the Magic Theatre.
		Vogel's concept, a cross between the Americana of certain Thornton Wilder one-acts and Japanese aesthetics (a major influence on Wilder as well), entails a fairly complex blend of Bunraku puppetry, Western-style acting, Japanese woodblock (Ukiyo-e) visuals, armchair psychology, modern dance, Christmas carols and traditional Japanese music.
		Vogel almost redeems the later part with the father's prayer to the one god that means something to him.

		Vogel accomplishes this by creating a fantasy tour of Europe that Anna (her alter ego, played by Marjorie Zohn) and Carl (her brother, played by John Kuntz) take together.
		They are in search of hedonistic pleasure and a cure for her (not his) terminal illness, the fictitious ATD or Acquired Toilet Disease contracted by using the toilets at the elementary school where she teaches.
		Vogel is not the first to point out how people facing death sometimes lust for sensuality as a substitute for the life they can't have.

		Paula Vogel, was awarded an Obie for Waltz and several seasons later garnered a Pulitzer for How I Learned to Drive.
		David Marshall Grant is quite fine as the brother who whisks Anna away to Europe when she acquires a mysterious fatal illness (Anna's Acquired Toilet Disorder, besides giving the play its quirky twist, gives the always political playwright a chance to satirize the public's and government's response to the AIDS crisis).
