What is this Gilbert and Sullivan you speak of? I am rather oblivious, so my ignorance comes as no surprise. To me at least.

Midsummer would be fantastic. I could definitely see that.... cast with LotR elves, maybe?
...Okay, so someone already suggested that. Still, it would work.
Oh my god this is brilliant!
I wonder of you could do anything with A Comedy of Errors, or Othello, or The Merchant of Venice, or...anything else by Shakespeare, really.
We should totally do Macbeth, set in Middle Earth or something.
Therefore Frodo must be Lady M------- if that happens.
And it will, because we've made it so via Multiverse Monitor.
Lily, this is perfect. Can you do Julius Caesar, too?
'Romeo and Sueliet'. Will never stop laughing.
Also, I completely support the theater group's name.

Discussions on the GDoc kind of implies that people have been invited already. I haven't even got an invitation mail.
We were wondering why you haven't shown up yet D:
Send me your email again, if you'd like.

If not, shoot me an email at the above address.
And you should totally do Midsummer... somewhere. I don't know where.
Oh, maybe in Valinor? Or Angband, for a contrast? Or both? Or hmmm, maybe the forest could be Lothlórien... nah, that'd make too much sense.

...It could be set in Doriath, with Beren as Lysander and Lúthien as Hermia and Daeron as Demetrius and a random Elf-maid as Helena and Melian as Titania and Thingol as Oberon and... I'm rambling, aren't I? Sorry.

... of my plans for a location-specific three-actor interpretation of the Lay of Leithian up a forested ravine. If it weren't for that pesky copyright thing, it could totally work...

...I think you could get away with it. I'm pretty sure there's a law about that somewhere.
Or maybe if you quoted pieces and summarized others?
~DF
... it'd be a play, not the poem itself, so there's no direct quoting involved. But given the nature of site-specific performances, it'd need an audience, and that's verging into copyright territory.
The other option is filming it... but that would need a cameraman in addition to the non-existant actors, so...

I'm sorry, all that's coming into my head (beyond 'that would be really pretty') is, who would play Bottom? And his friends?
~DF
Maybe some of the giant spiders from the Ered Gorgoroth? That's all I can think of-- wait, of course! The Haladrim! They're perfect!

You know, there's something funny (funnier) about this when you think of the Gilbert & Sullivan in the PPC story I started about a month ago...and never really mentioned...hm. Then again, that was more of a sort of take on the PPC Musical story, while this is literally the PPC performing Shakespeare's plays...

I'm generally oblivious to just about everything that isn't a book or a fic I've read, so....
They sound very interesting indeed!
-Aila
And I understand :)
They are! They've also got great dramatic and comedic scenes, which I love.

Erm.....that is to say Macbeth. I'm a theater girl at heart, so I hate saying it out loud- bad luck and all. The world is a stage!
Hm.....I have no idea where it would be set though. Pandora?
Oh my God, this was hilarious.
Do you have any more of these lying around? 'Cause that would be awesome, if there were.
Take a play, stick it somewhere where only the PPC would think of sticking it, and watch the fireworks. :'D
This should be the topic of the fourth cover story of the next Multiverse Monitor.
KG and I have decided that A Troupe By Any Other Name is going to show up next issue, so Thane Krios is still on. Could you give us an indication of where you are in terms of that article?
It's been hectic. Thankfully, I go on break now, so I should be able to draw it up. When do you want it?
We've already got a review of the theatre adaptation of "The Glorious Revolution" in place of the centre advert. It'd be a hilarious article, but are you sure you wanna give up the interview?
"The Glorious Revolution" is a stage adaptation of Terry Pratchett's "Night Watch", in honour of the 25th of May.
