@snellarthur.bsky.social more podcasts with a drunken Sweeney please.
Please stop pretending to be breaking boundaries. Have the courage to just say we're going to do a conventional play really well and you'll have a good evening. There's nothing wrong with that, and if that's what you want/need to do don't try to sell some leap into the unknown. #yesimtalkingtoyou
Shakespeare's home in Copenhagen now has solid wooden seats. Less a wooden O and more a wooden dash, but we're excited to welcome an audience onto them.
Benches. Solid wood benches. You want to watch theatre? Get yeself a solid wooden bench
A massive pile of wood that will become the seats for my theatre.
If Lin Manuel Miranda had any courage at all he'd cast Charlie Day as Peggy.
When our actors get nominated for awards it's always nice. When that actors is Jessica O’Hara-Baker we're not overly surprised.
I would start with four early comedies, move onto the problem plays; then the four great tragedies and finally the late romances (Cymbeline, Winter's Tale, Pericles) ending with The Tempest. After that you really have to do the history plays in a sensible order. Then LLL and the rest.
Ok Shakespeare nerds, you're putting on every play, 4 per year, autumn, winter spring, summer. What is your order?
I should bite an onion and taste apple before I listen to you about love.
We're auditioning 19 people tomorrow, and have the sameish number of self tapes. I must go to bed.
If you cast Indira Varma as Jocasta then I fail to see the problem. I feel like everyone would give Oedipus a break you know, like don't do it again Ody but leave your eyes alone mate.
Theatre should do what only theatre can do. It is unambiguously happening in front of you, the words you are hearing are being spoken now, the people are there, it is real. People will always want to experience this....
Spent the last month writing a play in Danish. My brain is running out of my ears.

I just got a new job at Disney, I'm now head of the department which checks that the characters' names don't mean "dicks" in other languages.

Jim Harbourne@jimharbourne.bsky.social · 2y agoWell, I have "The Myth of the Singular Moment" - a two-hander play with songs about parallel worlds, impossible choices and quantum immortality... the songs are on Spotify. It'd be lovely to take it about the place! open.spotify.com/album/7KkVNA...
