StaceGhost Yay! My friend is a member of the Virginia Blackfriars rep 2d
Lcsmcat @StaceGhost Cool! It was an excellent performance. Did they have a role last night? 2d
StaceGhost @Lcsmcat no, he‘s on vacation. But he directed a version of winters tale once and it was really good. I bet their show was better but I won‘t tell him that! How did they do the bear? 2d
Lcsmcat @StaceGhost It‘s hard to describe, but several cast members had furry brown hoodies, and there was a bear head on a stick. They arranged themselves into a sort of bear shape with one holding the head. Then they broke apart and surrounded Antigonus (passing the head around amongst them) and dragged him offstage by his ankles. Visually more effective than that description. 🐻 2d
StaceGhost @Lcsmcat that‘s brilliant! And no your description was perfect lol 2d

Repost for @LunaKay

Hey Littens,

I hope the motivation to read some classics is not affected by the heat (at least over here in Germany it is very, very hot). 🥵🌴

For the 3rd quarter, we'll tackle some stage writing!

Grab some lemonade, enjoy and tag me in your posts!☀️🏖

Elizabeth Rex | Timothy Findley, Paul Thompson

Pickpick

Elizabeth Rex, by Timothy Findley (2000 🇨🇦)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: On the night before her lover is put to death on her orders, a restless Queen Elizabeth I spends time with William Shakespeare‘s troupe and gets into a battle of wits about the performance of gender with a man who has spent his whole career in drag.

Review: This is probably my favourite play-as-literature thus far. Cont.

Mattsbookaday The premise is great, the dialogue sharp (and often funny), and the exploration of power, gender, and love utterly fascinating. The scenes among the two ‘queens‘ and Shakespeare are absolutely where this shines; the rest felt mostly inconsequential, but was far from dragging the play down. 4w

Recent home library acquisition:

I've never read manga but I found this retelling of the Wars of the Roses in a little free library and had to grab it.
