I think the funniest line change between two river and broadway is the squip’s line during the play about improving jeremy’s life because two river is “i’m going to improve your life, jeremy, if I have to take over the entire student body to do it!” and broadway is “jeremy! i'm going to improve your life if I have to take over the entire human race to do it!” so like two river squip was like “the only way you’ll be popular is if you squip the whole school” and broadway squip is like “the only way you’ll be popular is through world domination” and honestly the latter is 10x funnier

I FINALLY read The Unwanted Guest yesterday! And by "read" I mean "did a reading", I got to do Ianthe, none if us had read the script beforehand, and we randomly improvised with chairs to follow the scene instructions, it was absolutely glorious.

ANYWAY. I cannot decide what is hotter: Palamedes in his terrible half-burnt suit and the cigarette he doesn't know why he's holding, or Ianthe with her maid/butler routine.

Believe me, no one is more horrified to realize this than me.

#The PLAY #the DRAMA #the EVERYTHING i want to scream. I did scream. I rolled around in the floor and sobbed #'i can't compliment sandwich this babe'.......... the ace attorney reference.......... DULCIE................... #Ianthe Tridentarius the woman you are (<- fucked up nasty rat queen with a brain like a greek theater murder mystery tea party) #wait let me rephrase that. IANTHE NABERIUS THE PERSON YOU ARE (?????) #It opens SO many bafföing questions about babs too #Like. We knew he was a 1950s greaser at heart #but the ace attorney dramatics? #Anyway. I am so normal so so normal (<- guy who has been thinking about stages like a glass of water in the desert since yesterday) #*wistful sigh* #the locked tomb #the unwanted guest

Why is the play wrong in Mansfield Park?

We know that Jane Austen wrote and acted in home theatre productions herself, so why is it so bad that Tom and Yates want to put on a play in Mansfield Park?

They have chosen almost as bad a play as they could

1. It’s about the play they chose. Lovers’ Vows features a fallen woman, Agatha, who had a child out of wedlock. The first act also involves a lot of touching between Agatha and Frederick (her natural son). Amelia, who was toned down from the German version, declares her love for a man before he does, which was seen as very vulgar. Even the bold Mary Crawford struggles with Amelia’s lines! And the Count is also sexually immoral, which is discussed.

It would shew great want of feeling on my father’s account, absent as he is, and in some degree of constant danger

2. It’s about Sir Thomas being in danger. And you may wonder, do we need to have no fun whenever someone is at sea? Maybe? We see in the society that Jane Austen writes about a lot of performative mourning. Someone you barely know dies and you wear black ribbons and don’t get engaged for a while. So it’s not like you can’t have fun when the head of your family is possibly being attacked by pirates, but maybe don’t publically put on a play. They also use Sir Thomas’s study while he is away.

it would be imprudent, I think, with regard to Maria, whose situation is a very delicate one, considering everything, extremely delicate.

3. It’s about Maria being engaged (but not acting opposite to her fiance.) The first thing Maria does is secure herself as Agatha so she can get touchy-feely with Henry Crawford. This may put her engagement in danger. That is her goal, but as a concerned brother Edmund is trying to help her avoid it.

His sense of decorum is strict.

4. It’s about Sir Thomas being strict. Edmund points out that while acting may be okay for other families, his father would not approve of it. Not all Regency families are the same, like today, some are more strict and worried about propriety. The Bertrams are on the far side of conservative, while the Crawfords and Yates’s families are on the lassie-faire side.

The innovation, if not wrong as an innovation, will be wrong as an expense.

5. It’s about Tom wasting money while they are in financial difficulties. Dude hired a scene painter! That cannot be cheap!

This is the end of all the privacy and propriety which was talked about at first.

6. It’s about the publicity. Edmund joins the play to keep a third family from being included in the production, but Tom keeps inviting everyone to come and see them act. If Sir Thomas wouldn’t want his adult daughters to act at all, then he definitely wouldn’t want them acting in front of the whole neighbourhood. In an era where the rich are supposed to showing the way in morality, this is not a good look for the baronet’s children.

“I know all that,” said Tom, displeased. “I know my father as well as you do; and I’ll take care that his daughters do nothing to distress him. Manage your own concerns, Edmund, and I’ll take care of the rest of the family.”

7. It’s about Tom acting like he’s already in charge. By dismissing the cares of his father and acting against his known wishes, Tom acts as a usurper of his father’s power instead of a dutiful son.

So it’s not just acting, its the play the picked, it’s not all families, it’s this family, it’s not just this family, it’s this time and these conditions.

And so it begins all over again! Once again, the highlight of orientation day was doing a one hour solo show to introduce the kids to the play. My mother is teaching French at the same school this year, so she was in attendance, and was very disturbed by my portrayal of Lady Macbeth.

sniper alfredo

far too early he learned to be invisible. unheard, unseen; that’s where safety was. he learned to climb early, too, never more comfortable than when he was hidden on a roof or in a tree. when he was six he learned to aim. by eight his accuracy was deadly. violence wasn’t a choice but it became a comfort.

he made a name for himself without even trying. after his dad came his uncle, then the older brother of a classmate. adults took notice, but the wrong kind for the wrong reasons. at 14 he was pulled out of school and put to work. silent. hidden. deadly aim. he has a lot of names but none of them he chooses.

his list grows. rivals. targets. other men like him. finally, his choice: the ones who stole him, who named him, who made him what he’s become. he moves then, afraid of who will try to grab him next. he becomes better, climbing higher physically and socially (if a dangerous reputation can be called a social status). he never lets anyone get close enough to own him, not even close enough to see him. so when he’s seen, really seen, he panics.

it’s zed and golden that see him. they look for people like him, people like them. they see him but don’t say a thing, don’t ruin him, don’t add themselves to his list. he sees them again and he knows they see him; he sees rimmy pointedly Not see him. he could see himself with them if they’d let him. it takes a long time, but he does it. he sees them. they see him. he lets them.

Kliff Raikel and his beloved victim - Luellyn

He is just covering her nails with transparent enamel, because she has tried to rip her bandages off and scratched herself deeply. But he is a great sinner indeed; he mustn't touch the Light Nobles. The Lord will punish him.

Deciding on who will act which part in Lovers' Vows:

Fanny looked on and listened, not unamused to observe the selfishness which, more or less disguised, seemed to govern them all, and wondering how it would end.

I can’t believe I’m actually reading “The Crucible” in school. I never actually read it when I HAD to when I was in 9th grade.

It’s crazy how things change.
