In our family it's a 'CRAFT' moment. (Can't Remember A Flippin' Thing)....



What can I say, I'm very crafty!

Unfortunately at my house it's FUBAR moments. At least these days. But we'll get through it.

Speaking of rewriting Otello, or rather, Shakepeare's Othello...
Robin wrote

Yes, Otello. Verdi, not Shakespeare. Shakespeare can use the rewriting.


I presume that you know about the Reduced Shakespeare Company? While their Othello isn't the best- I really quite enjoy it.
If what Robin doesn't like is Shakespeare's tendency to go on a bit, well then, the RSC just might prove amusing. Check out their Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet and the rest- the links should all be on the side... "related videos" or whatever...

[edit: neglected to attach the links to the words. trying again.]



Reduced Shakespeare Company! Oh, I haven't seen them since I worked in the theater in college. Should have thought to check YouTube. They always made me laugh 'til my sides hurt.

Aren't they great? I only wish that I could find some of their other shows[especially All The Great Books... Abridged] up on YouTube or somewhere, not just the Shakespeare show. Not that I don't find it endlessly amusing. Just that I wish that I could see the others.
Oh well. Hooray.

The first show of theirs I saw (live! ^_^) was The Bible (Abridged). It was hilarious (of course!)

Oh, dear - I really hope they get it "sorted"...


Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

Jodi, you have to get over the impression that when someone says "you ratbag" they mean you! Razz
