I went to The Globe last night, to see Coriolanus. Words cannot begin... So so SO dire. It was such a gorgeous play, so tragic and sad and interesting, and they just played it for laughs. It was a mess. Something potentially moving and dramatic would happen and then some Pitch-fork Wielding Plebian would mince on and say "I've never seen the like" and then mince off again. Dire. Oh, and for some bizzare reason, Joseph Marcell was in it - he was very very good, one of the strongest of the cast - but it was still Jospeh Marcell, as in, Joseph-Marcell-"Cannon to the left of them! Cannon to the right of them!"-Geoffrey-the-Butler-from-The-Fresh-Prince-of-Bel-Air. And THEN, after the (what should have been) heartbreaking death scene, everybody comes on and does a frigging jig. At which point i stormed out. I'm still in shock. Me and my friend were screaming at eachother to do something when they all started doing the hoakey coakey. Horrific. All that said we were still stupid enough to get tickets for a Midnight production of Titus Andronicus, LOVE that play, it's like Eliziabethan S&M. I'll just stick to A Midsummer Night's Dream in the future, *sigh*, Oberon, *phwoar*, he can... no... better not mention 'love-juice'.

Where is everyone tonight... afternoon... Watching Eurovision? I see... for some reason there's a gold suit and a red perm with an American accent presenting it... Why Greece got Will & Grace in to do it i do not know. Not that any of you care but, for some reason, Finland won, with their anthem "Hard Rock Halleluja", their band was founded by the disused extras from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Lots of latex masks. Odd. [This message has been edited by Acey (edited 05-20-2006).] [This message has been edited by Acey (edited 05-20-2006).] IP: Logged |

Oh, and the jig thing they always do at the Globe, I think, when they're doing the plays 'straight' Renaissance style (if there is such a thing). I saw 'Hamlet' a while back, which had its moments (although I don't like Mark Rylance much, and he did look uncommonly like Rigsby in 'Rising Damp' in it). They performed what I believe was a 'danse macabre' at the end of the show, which had me a little mystified, and did seem a little pretentious, as well as looking much like a 'f*cking jig'. Oh, and I have had the pleasure of playing Oberon before; there used to be some photographs on the theatre's website, but they've overhauled it, so I can't put a link into it, so you'll just have to imagine it. Only 364 days to the next outing for the tone-deaf sartorially-challenged popstrels of Europe (and Israel) and Terry's pet vole. Can't wait! IP: Logged |

What are you rehearsing for currently Alex my man? Are you with a specific theatre company and touring and whatnot or are you doing some funky little fringe thing? Details details. IP: Logged |

quote: Anti-meldoic piss. I think that just about sums it up. I'm a bit relcutant to give all the details of my personal life away on this message board, as it would be very easy for anyone to google the show I'm in and basically find out exactly where I am every day for the next seven months, which is kind of scary! I'm happy to tell you, if you want to e-mail me (it should be up there, I think ^). It's just a bit odd openly discussing the details of your work life in an open forum... I know I'm paranoid!

My emailular is up the spout, but once it's come out of the bathroom and started talking to me again i shall send one your way. I warned him, if he's not going to pull his weight, he'll hear about, but he will sulk... And now i have Midsummer withdrawal symptoms, i haven't read it in what, a week, i'll get the shakes if i'm not careful. (Ha! Shakes, Shakespeare, that was an unfortunately unintentional pun.)

Oh, sorry, Acey, I've just scrolled up and seen the bit that says your hotmail is buggered. E-mail me if you want to/whenever it's fixed/whenever's convenient, and I'll e-mail you a flyer for the show. It's a very silly show, and does contain a rattlesnake dressed in a gold bolero salsa-dancing. Seriously. God, I'm typotastic this evening...

Ah yes, I'm afraid Ben Jonson or one of his other cronies trumped you on that pun by several hundred years! Do you know any of the (many) musical adaptations of 'Midsummer Night's Dream'? They are, by and large, hysterically funny, and in a Euroviosn way, not in an Alan Ayckbourn way. Although top marks have to go to 'Rockabye Hamlet' in the misguided Shakespearean musical adaptation stakes. It's a stinker... I think Oberon was my favourite Shakespearean part, tying with First Witch in 'Macbeth'. That was fun! IP: Logged |

A Hispanic personification of a rattle-snake?... I'm so there. And damn' that Ben Jonson! He's always doing that. Volpone... that's mine that it. The whore. And i know *of* certain musical adaptions of Midsummers, but i haven't dared allow myself to become intimate friends. As i've said, Oberon, singing about squirting his love juice on Titania's face; too much. *sigh* I love Oberon, i love Puck more - well, the way i see Puck, but i shan't get into that - but Oberon is so hot. I really am warped... candle-sticks and Shakespeare characters... IP: Logged |

King of Quox Member |
Yes, a very gay rattlesnake, the way I play him. And I think we probably agree on how Puck should be. I certainly tried to play up the whole homoerotic dynamic between him and Oberon, much to the directors' chagrin! Oh, and yes, I got to sing as well in the show. Love-juice. Heh, heh, heh!

I think I'd better go to bed before I fall asleep again! Acey - I'm doing my other (less interesting) job tomorrow, which involves being tied to the computer (not literally), so if you want to e-mail/chat on the boards, I'll be about then. Hope you don't have any disturbing nightmares about candlesticks and fairy kings! Night everyone! IP: Logged |

quote: A gay rattle-snake, that's so Pythonesque. Fab. And seriously, DON'T get me started on (in)accurate interpretations of Robin Goodfellow, you'll never wish you'd bought it up. He's bisexual, in love with Oberon, schizophrenic and wants the Changling dead, he ain't this skippy, dancey sprite who has an inclination for botony. Urg, it's like saying Lear's a bit doddery. (Adding: Piss. Look at the time. I must to bed, to bed, there's knocking at the gate, put on your night gown lest occassion calls us. Love that line. No idea why. Night! Gorgeous dreams.)

But you look all highlighted and pretty, as usual. Nyawwww. So pretty. I have to write a play today about a Gnome, Alice in Wonderland and a Homocidal Snail. In a cafe. In Whitechapel. Woop. (Understand that the play isn't set in a cafe in Whitechapel, that's where we're writing it, i expect that was actually quite obvious really.)

Have fun writing; I'm sure it's better than the bilge I'm having to sit here typing for the best part of today!

Gosh. I suppose the gay rattlesnake had better stay away from the homocidal snail, unless he wants to end up toast. IP: Logged |

quote: Ha! I seriously could not spell my way round a mulberrybush (...What!? Whatever). The play we ended up not writing due to one of 'the team' throwing a hissy fit about us not replying to his text messages and then refusing to come once i had - completely oblivious to all the drama - trapsed down to London to do it. Whatever. And my email is now up and running fully again, hooray, so yes please, send me details, would be tres interested uber alles. And also, i totally didn't see your post about me pretty much keeping you entertained whilst you drag yourself through typing 'bilge' until just now, which i apologise for, because i would have said that i shall be else where... sorry. And PaN, you're just so gratuitously stunning. IP: Logged |

Ooh, PaN, I like it. Random comment: you remind me ever so slightly of Clare Abshire from The Time Traveler's Wife. Read the book, if you haven't. It falls in the category of "good love story." You don't really seem to look like her, except for red hair, but you just seem like her...?? I don't know. Hee. Wow. Weird IP: Logged |
