I'm sort of astounded at the speed with which my summer is going. We open Shakespeare in 2 weeks...
And they own me for the rest of the summer...
But that's okay. I got promoted (read: drafted) into being both the "Musical Director" for Much Ado, and the Fight Captain for R & J. The latter makes sense, I guess, because I'm in all the fights, but I don't really understand why they want me to get all the music together for Much Ado.
We're re-mounting Micheal Hofacre's 1997 production of Much Ado, as set in the post-WWII 40's. It's going to be really cool. I'm playing Dogberry... because John Pillow auditioned, and if John auditions he gets whatever role I wanted. I love the man dearly, but this has happened, well, six times now. So no Benedick for me. But it's gonna be fun anyway. I've even got a butt line!
"Butt masters, do not forget that I am an ass!"
Not as good as:
"... call me but love and I'll be new baptised."
or
"Now I see our lances are butt straws..."
but fun anyway.
Yesterday, while waiting to die, I sat down with the Shakespeare Lexicon and picked out all the butt lines:
"...and butt infirnity hath something seized his wished ability." -Measure for Measure "All butt mariners plunged in the foaming brine." -Tempest "Tis a thing impossible I should love thee butt as a property." -Merry Wives "Death will seize her butt, your comfort makes the rescue." - Antony & Cleoplatra "... did us butt loving wrong..." -Tempest
Okay enough for now...
