Right. I'm a sheep. There we go.

I don't watch enough television for those TV memes, so I am going to do the Shakespeare one that has been going round.

My one caveat: I am indecisive. No, seriously. I am. Most of these questions will have at least two answers if not possibly more. I am just like that.

Day #1: Your favourite play

Comments

One of my friends from Oxford remarked at one point that she would love to see Othello staged as a comedy gone horribly, horribly wrong. Oh, wow! That sounds undeniably awesome!

Sorry to comment on this so late. I have been very lax in my LJ reading lately and only came upon this by noticing your most recent post in this meme.

By the way, I agree with you on your two choices, but whenever anyone asks me my favorite Shakespeare play, I qualify my answer with, "it depends. Tragedy, comedy, or history?" After which, I answer that my favorite tragedy is Othello, comedy is Twelfth Night, and history is Richard III.

(I only realised today that all of these posts had come up under a filter for some inexplicable reason and fixed them, so that's why you hadn't seen them until now.)

Oh, yeah, one of the things I love about this meme is that it's got category answers -- you get to list your favourite comedy, tragedy, and history, and that makes my life considerably easier. Because I can then cheat and pick a large selection of plays. ;)

If anybody is every crazy enough to let me direct Othello (I theoretically had the opportunity in Oxford, but I didn't have the time to spare), I think that might be how I stage it, just because I would be so hopelessly curious. Well, either that or my crackpot idea to set it in India at the height of the British Raj.

And, oh, Twelfth Night. I will always have a soft spot for that play!

So will I, milady. And you were quite a wonderful Olivia.
