I HAVE JUST SEEN THE MOST WONDERFUL, AWESOME, GAY, QUIRKY, FUNNY, PRODUCTION OF TWELFTH NIGHT... EVER.

I know of no better way to tell how wonderful it was than to talk about it at length. With pictures from the theater's site.

First, some context. Modern setting: Hollywood. Olivia and Orsino were actors; Toby was one, female, and two, some kind of ( Read more... )

I think I've read about at least one production like that, actually. NO NO, NORCAL. MESSALINE AND ILLYRIA: WARRING COMMUNES, LOL (no that's not contradictory)
Wait, I thought he already did that...?

Woah okay... I have totally seen that movie, yes I have. Elsinore = Biff's tower skyscraper thing? That would be pretty awesome. And then scary to think, if Denmark's like that, what the hell's happening in France...?

OUTER SPACE IDEK BUT THAT'S AMAZING

I'm a Latin geek, so I'd love to see Hamlet set in ancient Rome. Not the republic (lol duh), or the empire (fuck that), but the kingdom, back when it was just a tiny little country with no land and the state was corrupt as HELL and everyone was killing off their parents and siblings and uncles and grandparents and godknowswhoelse for the crown. I can definitely, definitely see Hamlet going down there. Although it might be a bit of an oddity (Denmark and England were both savage and inhabited by Gauls... never mind the "more an antique Roman than a Dane" bit).

...With talking mice and teapots! (lol no, Disney's awesome. But still cracky.)

OR OR OR OR they could be on the hippie trail in the Middle East and sit around smoking hashish and eating watermelon /has clearly gotten too interested in her Afghanistan research paper

The more I think about it, the more I like it. Gertrude can wear silver lamee.
Wait what about France?

I have this whole sci-fi R&J movie in my head! IT HAS EXPLOSIONS AND DEATH AND GIANT ARMADILLOS AND ALIEN FLOWERS

I used to be an Egypt geek, but now I'm more of a Norse geek. Although I want to be a dual Egypt-Norse geek. I also am an England geek. And a wannabe-classical music geek.

And a giant blue floating Robin Williams!

I APPARENTLY SHALL HAVE TO DRAW EPIC SHAKESPEARE PICTURES NOW.

Hippie trail in the Middle East? DO TELL.

Well, France is the party place (Polonius spying on his son &c), so if Denmark's like that France must be INSANE.

Ok, all I want to know about are the giant armadillos.

And the alien flowers.

I am... mostly just a Roman/Latin geek. Although also a Greek Mythology geek. If I knew more about ancient Greece, I could call myself a Greco-Roman geek, but I don't. Norse geekery is pretty cool. They had some badass gods.

WHO TURNS MONKEYS INTO ELEPHANTS WHILE SINGING, NOTHING CRACKY ABOUT THAT!

OBVIOUSLY THAT IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION.
