Oct. 26th, 2009 01:55 pmI seem to have hit just the right level of caffeine to be manically creative for the moment. Yay!
We're doing The Winter's Tale in Shakespeare RomCom right now, and now I really want to do it back home in Anchorage. I want to cast Liz Ware as Paulina. I want the cast to sing "When In Rome" at the end (which is an idea I'm totally stealing from one of the profs here, who did something similar with a modern tune for "It raineth every day" at the end of his production of Twelfth Night last year) -- Leontes singing the first verse, Perdita and Florizel singing the bridge, Hermione singing Where can a dead man go? (It would have to be a slightly different song than the version Nickel Creek does, a little slower I think -- Nickel Creek's would make a wonderful intro, though. Maybe I could do that -- introducing the first half's characters with it, and introducing the second half's with "Green and Gray." Leontes for the first verse, Paulina for the second, Polixenes and Hermione for the bridge, Leontes again for the final verse -- or possibly Antigonus.
I need more Nickel Creek, is what I need.
WOW I am not getting any work done on my Sir Orfeo paper.
I want to do Taming of the Shrew again, in the lobby of Purnell. I want to include the Sly parts, starting with Sly tossed out of the Chosky theatre into the lobby, and from there have him taken up to the mezzanine in style, and have the audience sit in the round and do the play there in the middle of the lobby, with Sly and the Lord and the servants yelling down comments from the balcony.
I want to do these shows. I want to be in them, and I want to direct them, and I want to make people sit up and say "Oh, that's what that play is. That's what Shakespeare can be."
A common goal, I know, but I think a worthy one.
