"Romeo? I think I used to have a scene with him."

So, David said I should write a play about dead Shakespearian heroines for Brown Bag.

And then I remembered snowyofthenight's Hallowe'en costume suggestion of gothic-horror style Shakespearian heroines

You are going to post this one act, aren't you? Because, if you do not, it will be a great loss to all of us on your friendslist.

Oh, and I read Marat/Sade for the first time recently. I see why you wanted to do it.

I probably will post the first draft and ask that you and some of the other Shakespeare/women's studies types read it for clarity, continuity, and general characterization and lack of suckage. Because right now, it is a great idea that I feel like is falling flat, so I will need betas.

It's a fabulous play. Not necessarily my favorite, but thematically very poignant and relevant to so many things right now.

I'd be happy to. And I find that plays almost always feel like they're falling flat early on in the process, though probably that's me and my dialogue issues.

Yes, yes, and the prose...I wanted to just quote half the speeches, they were written with such interesting cadence.

Wait a sec... Dead Goth Shakespearean heroines? Please tell me you incorporated Tamera.

Aaaahhhh, the endless possibilities...

She and Lady Macbeth are totally best friends.
