Eeee! I did that show!
Ooh! In what capacity? I was Professor Night/Othello/Tybalt. It was my first acting role, so I probably wasn't all that good. The
Thresher
reviewer described my Othello as "purposefully (I hope) flat." But I did get to say "titmouse" on stage (well, on the floor...we didn't have a stage so much as...a floor...with curtains).
My capacity was... uhm... I'm full of cold meds and cotton-brained at the moment, but the thesis-doing chick, the one what talks a lot. In my present cottony state I can't remember her name or call up a single line from the play, but I do recall that sometimes she talked for
pages
at a time. How the hell did I do that?
It's the cold. It's got to be the cold. I don't want to have to contemplate being old and feeble and past my prime at 36.

Constance. The bloody STAR! Dude, very nice.
I do recall that sometimes she talked for pages at a time. How the hell did I do that?
Yes, yes she does. And often in iambic pentameter. "Perhaps some heartless student spiked my beer."
"Tail they may, but foot they cannot!"
I don't remember that line. Unless it's from something else.
"Except mermaids, who cannot properly be said to set foot on anything."
I wish I'd had my iMac at the time; I'd've done soundtrack CDs for everyone in the show. All of us got together and tossed at the director every song we could think of with a Good night, Good morning or Shakespeare reference, and she picked her favorites. Purty stuff.
Emily bought pretties for the living room. I got to open them even though she's a work. She has good tastes. I can't wait to hang the sconce she bought!
Edit to add the pretty link: [link]
Aaah. Okay. Damn you, Emily! I knew that one sounded familiar, but it's hard to Google when it's not exact! STOP MESSING WITH MY MIIIIIIND.
"Except the mermaids--it's the very place for mermaids."
"Who are only human beings down to the waist--"
"And who can't be said strictly to set foot anywhere. Tails they may, but feet they cannot."
I'm ready for the next one. Hit me again, thou heav'n born maid.
Ooooo...and here's the blanket she bought: [link] It's all soft and cozy. I'm snuggled up in it right now, AIFG!
