“To celebrate the centenary of the publication of ‘The Waste Land’, Dead Poets Live turn their attention to T.S. Eliot, perhaps the greatest of all Modernists. Dead Poets Live’s clever and detailed dramatization of the poem’s creation and development demonstrates that ‘The Waste Land’ was not Eliot’s work alone, but a collaboration between him, his first wife Vivien, and Ezra Pound. For any poetry enthusiast, this show is as exciting as a courtroom drama.

Pound’s influence can be seen right at the start of the poem in Eliot’s dedication to his friend, written in Italian, IL MIGLIOR FABBRO: The better craftsman. It’s a humble beginning to a ground-breaking poem. Of course, Pound’s impact over ‘The Waste Land’ is well known but rarely do we see it acted out on stage. The two men argue over lines which Pound believes are cheap imitations of Alexander Pope and Lord Tennyson. And it’s true, if it weren’t for Pound, ‘The Waste Land’ would be a very different poem; much longer, and with whole swathes of it written in the iambic pentameter that Pound was so determined to break. In Dead Poet Live’s recreations of these conversations, Pound’s suggestions about excising flabby phrases and moralising words seem perfectly reasonable.....

The three of them sit around a table, taking the poem apart line by line, and it thrills in the same way as a film where the lawyers work deep into the night preparing their defence for the courtroom the next morning. As Eliot, Luke Thallon certainly looks the part with his neatly cut hair, and his suit. His Eliot is a likeable combination of haughtiness and innocence, trying to stand by his wife even though her illnesses mean that he has little time to write poetry.

Toby Regbo is a wonderfully demonstrative Pound, who sacrifices his own work to nurture other writers while Pearl Chanda gives depth and intelligence to Vivien, usually seen as a tragic figure in Eliot’s life.

The two-act play is narrated by Lindsay Duncan, who plays Eliot’s second and much younger wife, Valerie. Speaking to us after Eliot’s death, Valerie presents the other characters, sometimes pointing to pages of the manuscript, projected on the stage, which show the many edits and scribbles as the Eliots and Pound shaped the poem into the form we know today.

After the interval, the four of them recite ‘The Waste Land’, and hearing the poem in four different voices, a nod to the poem’s original title taken from Dickens’s My Mutual Friend, is like dialling through a radio late at night, hearing snatches of music, of conversations at closing time in East End pubs, and of hearing about old myths reappearing along the banks of the Thames. All these voices chronicle the malaise of postwar London, and Eliot’s own fears. Played out in the crumbling and faded Coronet Theatre, this recital is ingeniously site-specific.

It may be impossible to fully understand the many allusions and stories within ‘The Waste Land’, but this production by Dead Poets Live ensures that we understand it just that little bit more.

Runs until 22 October 2022

The Submas Designs are a lot more clever than you thought.

First lets look at the Submas overall design. We know that the original design was intended to make the Subway Bosses look like clowns and kind of creepy (that backfired); hence the comically large shoes and exaggerated expressions. Let’s start to break down each part of the design.

To begin, The Submas extreme expressions are a possible reference to the symbol of theatre; the mask of Tragedy and the Mask of Comedy. The mask of tragedy is commonly portrayed frowning ( not necessarily cry) on a black base mask while the mask of Comedy is portrayed smiling on a white base masks. Sometimes these masks are gold or split black and white color. The masks together represent the two extremes of the human psyche. Definitely the contrast we see between Emmet's smile and Ingo’s frown.

Next up, the coats. These are obviously designed to look like train tracks. The vertical grey lines representing the rails, the red brown the tie (the wood connecting the rails), and the buttons are the spikes that secure the track. You can see the pattern best on the back of the Submas coat. Looking at it you could laugh and say “I guess that makes the Subway boss themselves the train”, and you know what? You’re right.

This brings us to the most interesting part of their design, the color and pose. Yes, there is an explanation to the silly pose too. It’s so silly that we can just brush this whole design off as being another funny Pokemon character design; but unfortunately it’s actually thought out.

The Submas themselves are the New York Subway. Or at least they are the personified version of it. Let’s look at the colors again. Black and White. Very fitting for a game literally called Pokemon Black and White. That alone brings us to some interesting comparisons with the game themes and pokemon.

Kudari or (Emmet in the English version) wears all white. He values routine and rules and is ultimately pretty point blank. We can easily make that conclusion that Emmet represents Reshiram and truth. If we break down his name we see that in Japanese it means something along the lines of “down train” or moving away/going down hill. The different translations usually mean the same, except the name “Emmet” is a bit out of place. A lot of people say the Submas names in English are most likely to be puns of “Ingoing and Emitting”. But my crazy self did more digging and found that Emmet means “truth” specifically universal truth. This name goes back to old German, Irish, and even Hebrew. All looping back to Reshiram and themes of the game. (On a funny side note, Emmet is also the Cornish word for ant; so Emmet having a Durant is really funny. )

Next up is Nobori or Ingo who wears a black coat and appears frowning. Despite that , his is very encouraging and excited about moving forward. This makes sense since the name Nobori in Japanese more or less means to move up/forward ( specifically up a mountain). That’s why a lot of people believe that the poor man was eebie deebied for the pun because Warden Ingo works on Mt. Coronet. In English, Ingo is thought to be a shortened version of “Ingoing” which also aligns with not only the Japanese name but the character’s reoccurring theme of progress, moving forward, and ideals. In this sense Ingo very much represents Zekrom and ideals.

Truth and ideals, Reshiram and Zekrom, Tragedy and comedy, white and Black. All very good interpretations and symbolism for two funny train men. I would be satisfied with just knowing that, but no; the Submas are also a funny gijinka of the New York Subway. This is the part the has me laughing at how simple it is and yet we just easily accepted that they were just a bit strange.

Take a look at this. This is a Zebra Board.

Yep, it’s black and white. And do you know what? This MTA sign only appears in the New York subway. What does it do? These are used by conductors to indicate safety and that the train has lined up in the station. Every time the subway comes into the station, the conductor has to physically point at this board/bar to indicate that it is safe for the doors to open. The action is called "point and call" or "point and acknowledge". This practice is used in a few other train/subway stations (such as Japan), but the black and white board is New York specific. The pose of the submas suddenly makes a lot of sense.

Other Important notes observations.

The Submas face represents the front of the train. So their eyes are the lights (hence Ingos glowing eyes in PLA), their side burns are cow catchers ( see graphic), and the Medalion on the hat is round like a train number plate. Another interesting thing is that the Submas use airline Captain Pilot hats like Japanese train conductors use. The only part of their outfit that confuses me is the arm bands. This is more of a police uniform element and not a train conductor thing.

so to conclude, the Submas are basically a reference to in game themes, Reshiram/Zekrom, Trains, and literally the New York subway

I am not an expert. These are just my observations. I could be completely wrong. Take and add what you would like to. If you have more to add about the design, feel free to reblog that info. I would also like to see your interpretation.

the au you mentioned is a pokemon au right? i don't know anything about pokemon unfortunately so i can't ask specific questions, but i'd love to hear about any bits of felps (or felpac) information if you want to talk about it \o/

Yes its my pokemon au!! It's focused on this specific game called Legends: Arceus so it has some time travel fuckery and amnesia going on

Felps is a strange guy, in the present timeline he's Cellbits roommate, he works at a coffee shop while Cellbit works at the museum. He also helps out Cellbit do his own investigation job about strange things happening in Alola (another pokemon region) since people keep disappearing and others appearing out of thin air, with no memories to what happened to them. He met Cellbit when they both were about to end their pokemon journey and Cellbit was gonna try for the pokemon league and Felps decided to stick around that funky freak for moral support and bc he got attached

But also, he's there at the past timeline. Still Felps. He lives in a nice cozy hut by the rocky cliffs of Coronet Highlands (the rockside area in Hisui, another pokemon region but this one in the past) and just vibes with the pokemon. After Pac and Cellbit both end up yanked to the past and losing their memories, they eventually end up crossing paths with Felps again. The two can't remember him, but Felps remembers them, but can't say anything about it out of fear of the already unstable time distortion happening getting worse. Not even Felps himself knows how he travels between timelines

Felps and Pac used to be a thing, back home. Pac works at Gear Station, in the battle subway (a battle facility where you go down a series of battles until going against the subway bosses themselves, which here are Pac and Mike), and Felps used to wait for his shift to end at the top of the station, Pac meeting him there so the two could hang out and share dinner while watching the lights that'd came from the musical theatre down the street. They never put a name on their relationship, they just knew the other would always be there. In a different way than Pac knew Mike would always come for him

They love each other? Yes, they do, but the comfort of not being under a label was too much for them to really want to change it. They weren't exclusive to each other, both of them could date other people, but Felps just didn't want to put the work and the only constant in Pacs love life was always Felps

When Pac lost all his memories and met Felps again in the past, it was almost immediately the connection again, but Pac only felt extreme care and trust toward Felps, while Felps was still head over hills for him
