Hi, Alexx and co! It was fun running into you, and the production was a lot of fun as well. I'm up to my ears in Shakespeare at the moment, and although this wasn't really a standout production, it was certainly respectable. I think my favorite bit might've been the "is this a dagger I see before me" speech, which was well delivered and is *so* much more eery when there's no dagger there (filmmakers always seem to miss this fact). I agree the set rearrangement was unnecessarily disruptive and largely pointless. And that the witches were really good.
I don't have a problem with flat delivery per se. It's often better than the opposite extreme. But the characters do have to have emotional energy *between each other*, and this was missing at times.
Lear is coming together. Slowly. Hoping to ship it in the spring; updates on the website in a month or two. Might scan some of the SCA sketches if I have spare time to do so. BTW, props to Mike Bergman for telling me about the event. Oh, and let me know when/if videos are available from the Lear production.
