in titus andronicus last night, some characters were singing that song "heeey, heeeeey baby, oooh, aah! i wanna knooooow, if you'll be my girl" but with the lyrics slightly changed (to something like heeey saturninus, ooh, ahh, i wanna knoooow, if you're touching goth?!). that was interesting.

I saw Romeo and Juliet last year and they used that Basement Jaxx song Romeo.. :p:

This was the same play where the balcony scene feautured no balcony, just two mobile phones and lots of texting..Still not sure if I liked that bit or not!

My shakespeareness is getting hardcore..

20th june is taming of the shrew (missing england game!), 23rd is msnd, 25th is anthony and cleo - the latter at the lgobe and the other two in regents pk open air theatre. Msnd should be amazing; set in royal park and acted in one.. A fantastic parallel maybe opening the door for metatheatricality to some extent.

I was trying to work out MSND as well, and I'm supposed to know stuff about Shakespeare.
Silence - rather impressed by the hardcore Shakey, I was doing something similar with opera a few weeks ago - La Rondine on the Thursday, Marriage of Figaro on the Friday, and Arms and the Cow on the Saturday (the group doing them was only in Sheffield for those three nights). Having been to the opera three nights running, I decided I rather liked my life.
Going back to Shakesapeare, I'm going to Stratford in September. I'm not sure what I'm seeing, though - it's for a big family thing which was all arranged while I was away interrailing, so I missed out on all the details. But I'm really excited about it, since I haven't been there in ages and I wanted to see at least some of the Complete Works stuff. So huzzah.

I know!!

I really want to be able to go see something in Stratford. Only ever been to see something there once and that was Twelfth Night last summer..did anyone see that? It was simply fantastic. I loved the floating music stands and the vertical boat suspended in the air and then rowed row to the stage. :biggrin:

Bring on September and a university much closer that my current home!!

Well - i dont know what to say. Grace and kindness of this stature and degree i have never experianced in my whole life. I am lost for words at your benevolence .. my words fail me :p:

Thnx for the luck - i will seriously need it considering the forthcoming Chemsitry Synoptic - which in my humble opinion is the singlemost difficult paper, of the hardest subject in the world :confused:

Um...Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there?
Lol - Chemistry? :eek:

It certainly sound like the worst subject in the world - bar physics of course.

Aw, if you're up in September you should try and see Cymbeline. It's being done by Kneehigh, the Cornish touring company who did Tristan and Iseult at the National last summer. I can't wait to see what they do with it.

I want to stay in Stratford all summer, though: they have so much amazing stuff on in the complete works season. I saw the Ninagawa Titus Andronicus there last week and it was mind-blowing. The sort of theatre where you walk out and you feel almost assaulted - and you're still trying to take it all in.

There was a guy on the Culture Show last night who attempted to see all 37 Shakespeare plays in a month, and he succeeded! Really cool :biggrin:

I know what you mean about spending all summer in Stratford, but I'm going to Edinburgh, which I thik is the next best thing. And I'll be in London from September, so it'll be theatre every night. For a week, after which I'll realise that my lifestyle is unsustainable and I'll probably be a bit theatred out (dread thought).
Ooh, I'd love to see Cymbeline, if it's on when I'm there I might try and get a return, which I'm definitely trying to do for Much Ado. And Kneehigh are usually amazing - I think they were involved in Nights at the Circus, which I loved. Apparently we've got tickets for Troilus and Cressida, which I've already seen (I love being able to say that!) and which isn't a terribly good play.
