hmmm... i'm pretty sure it was a novel, not a play, but i will definitely take a close look at this because it does seem to have some familiar elements. thank you patricia !

I kind of doubt that the book Zelda describes is Spökdansen (The Ghost Sonata). It's not really about what she describes

to be honest i'm beginning to believe that in an eery mirror of the theme of the alleged book, in fact i dreamed the whole thing and the book has never existed outside of my mind.

That wikipedia summary is very dull and doesn't really give the feel of the play. (It's La sonate des spectres in French.)

True, but I've seen the play performed at Royal Dramatic Theatre and it sure didn't ring a bell as for Zelda's description. That particular performance was directed by Ingemar Bergman btw

Always a problem when you combine long term reading with long term...er, living. Things get lost in mental storage and you fill it in with something else that seems like it fits.

Though it does sound like an interesting novel. Would be surprised if someone hadn't written it.

Old age be cursed! I'm blaming mine on drug use. (RC cola and Moon Pies are drugs, aren't they? Ehhh, I'll say they are in my world.)

That said, now I can't get an old book out of my head (though I won't ask for help due to it's nature). All I can remember is the kids in the book got airplane suits that turned them into small jet powered planes. Now THAT is vague.

Sad part is I STILL have dreams about flying around in those when stress levels get to high. Amazing how something from when you were so young can stay with your half a century later. (The REALLY amazing part is I hate heights and flying both. I just like the idea of freedom that brings I suppose.)

Now if someone can tell me the name of that book, I would be surprised. Pleasantly but surprised.
