"That Life is For Living, That it Isn't a Show..."

Miss Zara, this post is entirely for you.

EMO CHAIR!!!!

*runs away and hides*

Prettyyyy. Eee.

And look! It's my icon, but it's the full picture! ^__________^

Oh, gracious. This is bizarre. And rather amazing. And bizarre.

Bwee, costumes. I have no idea.

Hamlet's hair makes me laugh. I don't know why. It's rather exceedingly silly of me. Hair! But not quite as much as Horatio's BEARD. XD OH, GOD. This, on the other hand, so pretty!

Ee.

And Manet painted Hamlet!! He looks quite mad indeed. Hee.

Oooh, frowny broody Horatio...!

Silly hats ahoy!

Eeeeeeeeeee lithographs eeeeEEEEeeeee! Guildenstern inna dress! Eeee! ^________^

...Horatio. SHAVE. A moustache--no. No. XD --No, wait, this is worse. HORATIO. NO CAPE.

...TEH awesome!!
Horatio's Hamlet
Grade levels 7-12
A 30-minute one-man adaptation of Shakespeare's greatest play, Hamlet. In this production, Horatio, Hamlet's one true friend, relates the story of the fallen prince through the Bard's monologues and poetry written by the artist. A 15-minute discussion of the play follows.


!!!

Awwwwwww.

...... XD

..And I think that's all. :D Wasn't that entertaining?

:D I picked it on purpose. Because really. How could I do otherwise?

(Huzzah for AIM. :D)

I KNOW! (me too me too me too) ^___________^ (!!! yes) WIN.

Isn't it pretty? Nanni found it...! Nanni is wonderful and clever and eee. Also, XD.

*giggles* (He does! It's--well, we discussed that, didn't we. Hmph) ^___^ He's so trying to be Hamlet and failing.

Yes. The beard. Ahaha. Hamlet should have a cape!

XD Yep.

--Oh, he so is. Pose pose pose. 'Lord. Yes, Delacroix did the eeeest Hamlet things.

XD NO.

^___^ I know!!

--Bibble. We wants it. Awwwww.

.....^______________^

Thank you, thank you. My pleasure.

Olivier!Hamlet is so pretty. *pets him* He's also so very pale. XD

Horatio!beard makes me laugh. Makes me laugh so much. Hamlet's cute little goatee makes me happy, though. (We did! I don't think there's much textual evidence as to Horatio's age-- Hamlet's, though... Thirty. Ick. Shakespeare, I love you, but...no.) He is! (Now I'm picturing Horatio standing before his mirror, saying 'To be or not be' -- no, no, that's no angsty enough.)

I prefer goatee!Hamlet. And Hamlet may have to have a cape now. No feathered hat, though, methinks.

Hamlet's so melodramatic, though, that I can picture him posing at the time. XD Eee.

It's my goal to see as many copies of Hamlet as the library and video rental can offer (as well as to rewatch Branagh, Zeffirelli, and Scott), so I need to look for this.

He iiiiis. Both. :D

*snorts* Horatio's beard looks positively dangerous. (Thirty. Is that canon? O_O) XD (....!!!!!! *chokes and expires*)

Aww, yes. Goatee!Hamlet is perfect. Also, cape. ^_______^ But not hat. The hat is rather--no.

XD

Agreed. And if you find it, won't you tell me how to obtain it? *stops quoting Astaire songs*

*adooooores*

XD

Quite. (Well. The gravedigger says that he's been sexton since the day when Hamlet Sr. overcame Forti Sr. --which coincidentally, was the day Hamlet was born-- and then later that he has been sexton 'man and boy, thirty years.' I also thought this was a bit iffy, though, as the gravedigger is not the most reliable character in the play when it comes to words, and as Hamlet toys with time ['two hours,' etc] himself.)

Goatee and cape, then. Or, rather, on DF, just cape. XD

Will do! I will go to poke at the library as soon as they give me a library card. *pout!*

(Well. That's interesting. *peers* I didn't ever realise that--goodness. Hamlet, you're too OLD. You're too old to go to Wittenburg, even. XD)

^____________________________^!!!!

Yay! Hmph, they do not give it to you quick enough!

(Ay, but a lot of critics disregard that-- though I think it's pretty common for actors to first play Hamlet around thirty these days-- so I don't feel too bad about it. XD Besides-- maybe he was rounding up. ^___^)

(*nodnod* --really?-- Good. --*snorts*)

(--I don't know; I think I'm making things up here... 30-40, perhaps, though partially because it's such a demanding role--)

(*giggles* That makes sense, I suppose...

(Iain Glen was 29, Ethan Hawke was 30, Mel Gibson was 34, Kenneth Branagh was 36, Campbell Scott was 39, Richard Burton was 39, Laurence Olivier was 41...)

(...forty-one? I don't believe it.)

(IMDb says he was born in 1907, and Hamlet came out in 1948... I was rather O_O at that, too.)

(O_O He doesn't look forty-one...!)

(Not with those calv-- ...no, he doesn't.)

(...they so are. Horatio thinks so, too. Shhh.)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
(He, however, does not like that becoming common knowledge. :D)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
(What, he thinks people don't know--?)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
(He'd like to think that. Right now he's blushing.)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
(Aww! Personally, I think there'd be more of a problem if he didn't like them-- ...sorry. XD)
