mercurydraconix: from 1923
Hatikva42: hmmmm
mercurydraconix: anyway
mercurydraconix: my version is by brian hooker
mercurydraconix: with a forward by SOME DUDE named Clayton Hamilton
mercurydraconix: who is SO FUCKING PRETENTIOUS i cannot EVEN
mercurydraconix: he is SUCH A POMPOUS ASS
mercurydraconix: but I LOVE IT
mercurydraconix: he starts out all
mercurydraconix: "i asked my friend [actor] to put on Cyrano"
mercurydraconix: "which was going to cost fucktons of money"
mercurydraconix: "but gasp imagine all these people who are under thirty who have NEVER SEEN IT??? because it was performed in 1890-mumble and it is now 1920!"
mercurydraconix: "and my friend was like OH FINE"
mercurydraconix: "but i went around reading these english translations"
Hatikva42: original was in french? I should get it in french
mercurydraconix: "because of course if it is to make money in NYC, it should be performed in English"
mercurydraconix: "of course, I only ever read or saw it in French because I am a pretentious bilingual fuck"
mercurydraconix: "anyway, all these english versions made me want to cry"
mercurydraconix: "so I went to my poet friend, Brian Hooker"
mercurydraconix: "and i was like 'clearly you must DROP EVERYTHING and go to the country for some months and translate this JUST FOR ME' because of course i have the wealth to command this sort of behavior"
mercurydraconix: "let me now detour, into my personal history with this play"
Hatikva42: ahahahhaha
Hatikva42: win
mercurydraconix: "which is to say, way back in 1890mumble, I heard that there was an epic theatre thing happening in Paris and I was ALL AFLUTTER because i couldn't go"
mercurydraconix: "so i ordered a copy of the script and i waited AND WAITED AND WAITED, SO PATIENTLY, HOW I WAITED"
mercurydraconix: "I THINK PROBABLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRINT RUN, THIS IS HOW PATIENT I WAS
mercurydraconix: "but finally it came"
mercurydraconix: "and like some kind of 1900 hipster jackass I took my SHINY NEW script to this divey manhattan french bar where poor french expats hang"
mercurydraconix: "and i mean, i wanted to BE COOL, DADDYO so I made sure that the script was poking out of my pocket and flaunted that shit around"
Hatikva42: I love your summaries of things
Hatikva42: btw
mercurydraconix: aahaha HE IS SO GENIUS I CANNOT GET OVER IT
mercurydraconix: "anyway, once i was in the divey french place i was like GUYS GUYS THIS FRENCH PLAY"
mercurydraconix: "I LIKE IT BEFORE IT IS COOL HERE"
mercurydraconix: LET ME READ IT FOR YOU
mercurydraconix: "they all demanded that i read it aloud"
mercurydraconix: "in the original french"
Hatikva42: ahahahahahaha
mercurydraconix: "let me now quote that french for you"
mercurydraconix: "even though the fact that you are reading an english translation probably means you don't speak french but fuck it, i speak french and I can't just let that slide"
Hatikva42: :) :) :)
mercurydraconix: anyway this guy is AMAZING, i cannot get over THE INTRODUCTION he is so incredibly pompous and fab
mercurydraconix: and then of course i got to the PLAY ITSELF
mercurydraconix: which
mercurydraconix: i have seen the gerard depardieu version, and it is FUCKING FABULOUS
mercurydraconix: but of course the play is JUST AS AWESOME
mercurydraconix: and i was reading it while sitting at this ridic restaurant right next to Comet PingPong and Pizza
mercurydraconix: because i had to use my $50 groupon
mercurydraconix: this is a WHOLE SECOND story
mercurydraconix: whereby i was like "can i make a reservation?" and they were like "NOPE"
mercurydraconix: BASICALLY
mercurydraconix: that is the short version
mercurydraconix: the long version is i tried every night between yesterday and tuesday
mercurydraconix: except that monday they are closed and tuesday there is some kind of private function
mercurydraconix: and my groupon expired on 12/20 ...which is tuesday
mercurydraconix: ANYWAY MY POINT
