On 1 December 2010 Jeremy Page's short play 'Loving Psyche' was performed in Bremen, Germany, by the the anglophile theatre group Alsomirschmeckts, which loosely translates as "well, I think it's tasty", on the occasion of the launch of the latest issue of the literary magazine NewLeaf. Because this is the brave new world we have a chance to watch the premiere of 'Loving Psyche' on YouTube. Here are the links (two parts!). Enjoy the German interpretation of a stetson and a musical appearance of Leonard Cohen:
