#theatre Très belle première représentation de la subversion du langage de et avec Clément Viktorovitch. L'espace d'une soirée l'auteur se glisse dans la peau d'un communicant politique et nous dévoile les trucs et astuces employés pour son candidat.

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'After the #Miners’ Strike: #A39 and #Cornish #Political #Theatre versus #Thatcher’s #Britain: Volume 1', by Paul Farmer

In this rich memoir, the first of two volumes, Paul Farmer traces the story of #A39, the #Cornish #political #theatre group he co-founded and ran from the mid-1980s to the early #1990s.

Farmer offers a unique insight into #A39’s creation, operation, and #artistic practice during a period of convulsive #political and social change.

The reader is plunged into the national #miners’ strike and the collapse of #Cornish #tin mining, the impact of #Thatcherism and ‘#Reaganomics’, and the experience of touring #Germany on the brink of reunification, alongside the influence on #A39 of writers #BertoltBrecht, #JohnMcGrath and #KeithJohnstone.

Went to see the Wednesday matinee of The Father and the Assassin at the National Theatre (which was absolutely superb - great play and brilliantly acted) after lunch at their new flagship restaurant Lasdun, which - having really loved both Mezzanine and House, the two previous incarnations - was also fantastic; oh my word, that beef and barley bun!

The end of a production is always emotional- not only because of the friends and family I've made along the way, but also because I'm saying goodbye to the part of me that portrayed a character. Sometimes the characters we play are friends just as much as other actors were.

I only started in musical theatre a few years ago, after saying for a long time I'd like to do it. I have been in 2 shows to date.
I auditioned on Sunday got a callback for yesterday. I am now waiting to hear if I have a role and what it is. It's not a big deal - a local community theatre production, but for me it is exciting! I love to sing and dance - and the sense of community with like-minded people is so great.
Wish me luck!

#OTD in 1642, just after the First English Civil War had begun, the Long Parliament ordered the closure of all London theatres.

The closure was the culmination of the rising anti-theatrical sentiment among Puritans, and along with William Prynne's Histriomastix (1633), its text was the most notorious attack on theatre in English history.

In 1660, after the English Restoration brought King Charles II to effective power in England, the theatrical ban was lifted. via @wikipedia

#art #theatre

Illustration of Prynne by Wenceslaus Hollar.

Like many Puritans abhorring decadence, Prynne strongly opposed religious feast days, including Christmas, and revelry such as stage plays. He included in his Histriomastix (1632) a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack on Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most prominent incidents in his life, but the timing was accidental.

Heading to this event. You may be able to stream it. Few books are more celebrated than Shakespeare’s First Folio. Published in 1623, the First Folio was the first collected edition of the Bard’s drama, bringing together edited texts of 36 plays--including 18 that had never before been published.

Only 233 copies of the First Folio are known to survive. One is held by the Newberry.

Just back from seeing #TheOceanAtTheEndOfTheLane at the King’s Theatre in #glasgow

Oh wow. It was absolutely stunning! An incredible translation of the novel, with so many extra elements which couldn’t have worked in any other medium except live #theatre.

If you have a chance to see it wherever it’s playing next, don’t miss it; it’s a hell of a show!

As we all hopefully know, everything @neilhimself touches turns to magic, like a less cursed King Midas!

the Staff of this instance already told me to not abuse tagging, but I must admit that for me, is my try to reach you. I am always talking to the #Dragon or to the #Tiger, while all other #animals can ear me too.
-
In the original perspective of "God" #dream, we are not here to compete, but to work together. All have useful skills that can help all others to become better.
-
So, since I am a #monkey and I have no intentions to attack anyone in a violent way, I can only be violent with my body expression and with words and sound. #Body expressions are good for #dancing and #theatre, and #words and #sound don't create nothing in reality if not only new #books and new #songs.
-
Enjoy the #music, while I try to #teach something about this dream that " #God " have, but we are #free to ignore.
-
The sacred books only point to the way each can deal with the self, not anything else. So, I will try to reformulate one post I did today that can be useful.
-
Question: In #Linux systems we can use an application called #IPTables. This application aims to control what the machine can "ear" and therefor, what the machine can "read". When machines are being victims of an known #attack called #DDoS, how we can block this attack?
Answer: We can Drop the packages or we can Block them, since if we block we record the source, and if we drop, we don't care who is the source. Can be everywhere, but the machine don't care.
-
So, if you are being victim of any verbal attack, you may wish to drop those packages too. Why you should react to something that aims to break the brain?
-
There is no perfect rules to defend DDoS attacks, but since you have legs, you can run away. #Machines don't have legs, and if they run away, they will be disconnected. ( which is not a bad choice in those moments, if you did replicate your service to another machine with difference servers and IPs. )

Just #relax and ignore that! https://art.odicforcesounds.com/pages/Data/Audio/Path_Of_Shields/tracks/01_Because_we_Love/index.html

I have been asked to replace an actor that has gone sick. I am playing a senior in Four Old Broads on the High Seas. Me and four older ladies are on a seniors cruise where hijinks ensue. I definitely make a joke about taking Viagra to keep from rolling out of bed.

Honestly, this sort of if show is kind of a big deal for the theatre I'm at. They spent decades playing it safe with classics and kids shows. This is the most risque thing they've put on. I'm hoping it will open the doors for a lot more variety instead of Brigadoon for the umpteenth time.

"Leave for her a red young rose,
Go your way, and save your pity;
She is happy, for she knows
That her dust is very pretty."
Epitaph for a Darling Lady, Enough Rope

Dorothy Parker was born #OTD in 1893. She was one of the founders of the Algonquin Round Table, an informal literary group. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. via @wikipedia

@Sophie when you talk about oral history, there is so much, even of recent LGBTQ2S history that is unknown to younger generations. Two productions - one dance, one theatre, have tried to address this.

Been a while since I posted some Stratford shots. Here we have:

1. Fishpond, Festival Theatre gardens, west of the main entrance.
2. Stratford railway station.
3. Tom Patterson Island.
4. Tom Patterson Island and Victoria Lake footpath.

More details in the alt text.

Lots of crisscrossing angles in this orangey peach and blue steel hued sunset shot of a little rectangular pond in the gardens on the west side of the Festival Theatre grounds. My poor dog—I laughed out loud when she reached too far for a sip of water and fell in...
A shot from shoe-level, trackside of the Stratford Railway Station which sits reflected neatly in a puddle from recent rains and festooned with pots of fuchsia hung from its eaves. To the left, the sky and its reflection a soft blue textured with white puffs of fair weather cumulus.
A view of Tom Patterson Island and the arched bridge connecting it to the Stratford mainland. It is dusk, the sky is amber, there are a few strings of lights in the shadows on the island and in the dar foreground a long dragon boat sits moored, awaiting its next crew. The monochromatic amber, the still water reflecting the island and sky, and the boat give the scene a somewhat Oriental feel.
A view of Tom Patterson Island through the willows lining the footpath along the shore of Victoria Lake. The sun is about to set, its disc still blazing in the foliage for a few more minutes. There is a lovely blend of yellow and green and the trees somehow seem especially tall in this light.

It’s not that we dislike Will Shakespeare, it’s that he gets plenty of stage time. His contemporaries don’t, and some of them are 🔥🔥🔥

I’m a member of a group that aims to perform - in some fashion - every single British play* that fellow from Stratford didn’t write:

If you’d like to listen to our recordings, there’s a podcast https://www.podcasts-online.org/beyond-shakespeare-1377754037

and a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbxjSQdAj88 <= I’m in this one, in case you’re curious what I sound/look like.

*every play from before 1642

The #Barbie #Movie is all the rage now

... if ya looking for some adjacent type fun, I highly recommend #Dora and the Lost City of Gold.

I was a stay-at-home dad for a while, and my daughter and I probably saw every episode of #DoraTheExplorer a dozen times.

We caught this in the #theatre on it's opening day in 2019 and it was a blast. It's campy, hokey, and doesn't take itself seriously, all while embracing the "source material."

We bought it and still watch it about once a year. 😁
