theatre gibberings. also, fic musings.
Sep. 28th, 2006 01:01 pmFinally figured out how to do that sodding Jack Harkness/SGA story which has to be done pre-Torchwood debut. There's this little thing called 'Five Things'.
This fortnight has been declared Theatre Fortnight. Or possible Globe + Wicked. If you haven't seen anything at the Globe yet, GOGOGOGOGOGOGO. Utterly fantastic and it's 5 quid. You have no excuse.
Globe itself is brilliant, standing and shifting about means you're more involved, and they're quite happy about throwing things into the crowd or charging through it. Fab stage, and we fully approve of the concept of soup, sandwiches and tubs of sweets available for munchies. Warmer inside than out, and no drafts. So far, seen In Extremis, new play about Abelard and Heloise (12th century lovers, both went into church), which is about wordplay, philosophy, religious nuttiness and sex. V. funny, v. thoughtful, great acting. For![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jamjar and megolas (who I absolutely bullied, *bullied* I tell you, into getting tickets for this next tues), Antony and Cleopatra is .. huh. Interesting. Brilliant performances, Frances Barber as Cleopatra is amazing, especially in the last scene and one scene in the first act where she gets bad news. I guess my 'huh' reaction is to the play itself, since it's a very different beast from, say, Julius Caesar. More soliloquoy-ish, less in the way of great speeches or conversation, though it does have several famous quotes. Also, after watching it, I now seriously want Rome S2 *now*, since manipulative cold fish in the form of Octavian are just too much fun to watch. Also, James Puresex and the girl playing Cleopatra as obsessive .... *thud*. A tad pouty that I didn't go earlier in the season, as might have been able to get tickets for Titus Andronicus, which sold out weeks ago on all groundling due to the sheer amount of blood and audience participation. 700 tickets for groundlings per performance, and they sold out? :wails at injustice of world:
Due to listening to way too much Noel Coward, especially 'Mad about the boy' and 'We all wear a green carnation', I now have urge to see Stuart and Vince in the 30s. Either as both gadabout boys around town, or valets, or valets and master... um.jamjar, this is all your fault for talking about Bruce and Clark earlier last week. I think Jeeves and Wooster is turning out to be my completely bloody bulletproof kink.
Wicked tonight. :gibbers happily:
