If Music Be the Food of Love Get Stuffed
It seems churlish to complain about it, but one of the many things I'm not catching up on (dishes, hand laundry, work, doing my taxes) is...filmed or zoom theater. It's almost time for Red Bull Theatre's production of The Witch of Edmonton, an obscure Jacobean play, which I will probably skip because I just watched the first half of the Globe Theatre's Two Noble Kinsmen, which has a LOT of Morris dancing.*
I love the Play On! series of zoomed table readings of Shakespeare plays in modern "translations," but....they're supposed to be every Friday! And I still haven't seen the end of King John! And they did Twelfth Night today, which, I'm fairly sure, is NOT Friday.
BTW speaking of the National Theatre, Frankenstein answers the traditional question a la stupidtvquestions. Everyone always wondered why Frankenstein assembled the critter out of so many ill-assorted components instead of just animating a single body. Well, as we know now, he only got half his Putrid Direct order and he didn't like all the substitutions, but there was nothing he could do about it.
*Considering the notably slash speech about how the two imprisoned cousin's are each other's wife, it can be argued that the play has both the things one should try everything except: incest and folk dancing.
