Does anyone think Faulkner's As I Lay Dying performed by puppets is a good idea?
God help me, I think it's an awesome idea. The only way it could be better is doing it in 30 seconds performed by bunnies, or possibly Weebl and Bob; or maybe the entire Faulkner canon as done by the Reduced Shakespeare Co. But I'm one sick twist, so don't listen to me.
OMG. That sounds like it would at least be as good as Sock Puppet Showgirls. Which was really good.
Ha! I worked with electrical engineers for years and most were a completely clueless lot who didn't know how to find files if they weren't in "My Recent Documents" and who put hard returns at the end of every line.
That link Tom Scola posted? That's where I work. Except I'm in the New Jersey office. Bet they don't have those kind of problems, huh? I'll take that bet.
I just got an e-mail from an experimental theatre near me. Does anyone think Faulkner's As I Lay Dying performed by puppets is a good idea?
Could be interesting. That's a very difficult book to adapt, and a very difficult play to do well. I've designed a production of it and we had an amazing director who pulled it off, but it was a ton of work. I'm not sure about puppets. If done well I guess it could work. We had shadow puppets for certain sections of our production.
Just to be an asshole...
Thanks for all the baseball~ma y'all sent the Yankees way. They just finished a 3-day sweeping of the Bo-Sox today. And I think just scootched into 1st for the Wild Card AL. Keep your fingers crossed, they need all the help you can give them this season.

Faulkner? puppets? (boggles)
Although I once saw a punk production of The White Devil (it was bad).
Ginger, when you first said it I was picturing weird brightly colored muppety puppets, but with those puppets it might be interesting.
The question and answer might be interesting.

My big boss is driving me a bit nuts. She's printing stuff and making a phone call, but she's getting distracted and printed stuff multiple times. In color. I'm watching the bar of red ink go lower and lower and I don't want to tell her she's costing us money.

My cunning plan to get Teppy to move away from Ohio is dashed. Drat!
