MY BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS TICKING, AND IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT!!
I just got back from seeing the RSC and it was AMAZING! The ironic thing was that my Lit teacher was sitting right behind me, what are the odds of that. For a moment this morning we weren't sure if we were going because we didn't have tickets and they claimed to be sold out. BUT a stroke of luck got us some tickets! YAY.
Imagine: Three guys, screaming, laughing, flying props, cross dressing, fake boobs, small daggers, and lots of people named Bob.
The show was so fast paced and energetic. They hit on every work by Shakespeare, though the sonnets were not ACTUALLY done, everything else was included. The 16 comedies were condensed into one story, the histories were represented through a football game (the crown being the football, and King Lear was fouled for being fictional), Othello was rapped, Titus Andronicus was a cooking show, Macbeth was very Scottish. Romeo and Juliet: "Call me but love" "ButtLove? Why do you want me to call you ButtLove?". And finally Hamlet was done with audience participation, flying socks, cups of water. It was done backwards, forwards, and sped up.
There's something about Shakespeare that fills the soul. Like eating an entire bag of Pop Weaver by yourself. OMM NOM.
GET THEE TO A NUNARY!!
No, get thee to bed.
