Drama! (seems to be the only other thing that is interesting in my life) 1 May 2008 12:33 pm
HAHAHA! the performance drama club went to last night was so funny!!! like theres a group of actors/actresses doing a series of short plays all based on shakespear's stories, and the play is called "shakespear in love' (from the title, you can guess that all the stories are love stories) my favourite was totally the last story!!! like first there was a person dressed as a wall, saying that the two lovers would peep through the holes in the wall *positions his fingers like saying ok like that*. then the guy lover came out, totally funny waving a huge sword around and saying alot of pompous stuff. then the female lover came out, and everybody was laughing like mad cos the female lover was a woman! he/she was talking in this really funny fake female voice!!! then when the guy lover turned the wall around (cos the wall was positioned wrongly, on purporse of course), it is revealed that the wall is making the hole from his fingers, with the middle finger sticking straight up! (everybody gasped) then they kissed (have no idea whether its real or not, cos all the previous kisses were real, of course everybody gasped) through the circle the wall's fingers were making! so funny!

and then in the next scene, theres this person acting as a moon, struggling with her lines, and theres this "prompter" whispering her lines furiously! like:

"im...er..."
prompter: "the moon!!!"

that kinda thing!! and then when the lion came out "attacking" the female lover (ok, male but whatever) the female lover dropped her lace hanky, and ran away. and then the male lover came out looking for the female lover and when he saw her hankie, he was like: BLOOD!!!!!!! she is dead!!! i shall plunge my sword into my chest! and then he whips his sword out and plunges it into his armour plate. So the sword failed to penetrate. So he turns the armour plate around and says: I SHALL PLUNGE IT INTO MY HEART! and plunges it under his left armpit! (everybody laughed) then he was like staggering around saying those stuff like: oh, my beloved and then along the way the sword came out. then he was like: I AM DEAD! and continued staggering aroud and saying stuff. then he collapsed on his knees: i am dead! on his bottom (DEAD!) on his side, (DEAD!!!) on his back, (I AM DYING!), and finally he really "died".

then the female lover came out and was like, all: HE IS DEAD!!! I SHALL PLUNGE HIS SWORD INTO MY CHEST!!! and she plunges it into her armpit too and then when she was bending over she was like pulling out all the red cloth from her clothes (guess thats how he did the transition from man to woman) and pretended it was blood, with this agonized expression and finally she died beside the guy lover.

then since thats the final scene, the other actors and actresses file out and the female lover instantly whips out her wig, revealing an obvious guy (everybody laughed) and did the finishing credits. definitely one show that cannot be missed!!!

the writer is still replaying the play in her head and screaming: encore!
