What light through yonder window breaks? It is Baker Street, and impulsereader is the sun!
Arise fair sun, and tell us tales of knaves and courtly men who wind their tripping tongues about their discourse, and clash words instead of swords, with rapier wit. Let, too, a good physician make a palpable hit in his time, for he's a goodly fellow.
Yet now, rebellious subjects, curb thy sharpened tongues. The Game Is Afoot!
To paraphrase: Sherlock/Shakespeare crossover = OTP + the best idea ever. It also inspires the most inspired (and inspiring) comments.
I am grinning like crazy over this and am now off to catch up with your 'verse so this is basically a perfect moment in time. I'm bottling it for future happy-making. :-)
I love that moment when people are far enough out of school to realize that Shakespeare is actually supposed to be fun! This looks like the moment when John finally really claims his role in The Production as his own.
Curious question, but: have you seen the David Tennant and Catherine Tate production of Much Ado? I think there's a good spot for John and Sherlock to really get their characters down; that particular adaptation really highlights the comedic aspect of the play.
Are you going to write about their next visit with the performance of the Production?
I tried to watch DT and CT in Much Ado - I paid for the digital file but experienced technical difficulties when I tried to watch it. RL assaulted me a bit just about then and I haven't tried since. I was hoping to incorporate it and any other productions I could track down into the February MST3K interlude, but owing to this failure, and in an effort to be timely with posting, I abandoned it.
Given my Regency setting I don't think there will be a whole lot of zany comedy in the Production - but after the interludes are concluded there will be the Much Ado holiday with an epic treasure hunt, a Cabin Pressure crossover, spies out to harass Mycroft, and Much Ado starring John and Sherlock.
