Post Easter post and Shakespearian marketing

[nodbear]

I have decided this morning that I need to catch up with Spring and get myself going somewhat and included in those priorities are a Saturday poem update( upcoming guest column from esmerelda_t!) and reading the contributions which people kindly posted for anteros_lmc over the Easter weekend and many other things so as a sign the tree in the icon has changed to a blue

Elsinore bouncy castle! :D I love the acknowledgment on the event listing that "Hamlet may not be known for his cheery demeanour." It's like saying that a thunderstorm may leave you slightly damp!

It is isn't it ! Sounds a good day out actually -and the Hamlet round the world is a magnificent undertaking.

Oh, dear. I know they're all excited about Hamlet, but I can think of very few other plays that would fit family fun day less.

The ball pit and bouncy castle does sound like fun, though!

Oh, I got your card! Thank you so much!

*Hugs*

Glad the card arrived safely.

very cuddly your cat icon :) they do look adorable!

Now you have got me thinking of other unsuitable plays for family fun days ...

King Lear ?

anything by Sophocles and ...?

My drama teacher once joked that my submission for children's theatre would be "Titus Andronicus for Youth". Can't picture that going well ...

[nodbear]

Er no
not exactly :)

Othello would be worse.

[nodbear]

Yes Othello not good too !

ROFL! That's priceless XD I love it :) Hamlet is a perfect play for children, it's got everything - ghosts, murder, madness, gravediggers and everyone dies at the end. What more do you need?!

[nodbear]

Yes you are quite right - and have managed at the same time to remind me of games played many years ( it feels like centuries ) ago when collapsing to the ground 'dead ' was an essential part of the ending just like HAmlet act V ! Those were the days '''
