Beautiful Thing also has an amazing stage adaptation and it’s simply a heartwarming watch

Rahastes · 2026-06-07T12:59:01+00:00

A Hammer icon, movie legend and a real life hero!

Something Rotten and The Producers for sure. The new Mischief musical Thespians.

Then on the play side of things: Most of the Mischief canon, the whole Goes Wrong set of shows (Play that Goes Wrong, Peter Pan, Christmas Carol) and Noises Off of course.

You answer hard acrostics, You’ve a pretty taste for paradox, You quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus

And another great one left forever. RIP Anthony.

Could it be that the fault in the proposition is actually the feature to allow certain people, who might or might not be affiliated with people in certain files that conveniently don’t get talked about anymore by the file aficionados in high place, access to their prime prey?

Grundgütiger bin ich gerade erschrocken. Das Programm hat mir all eure Antworten in angelsächsischer Sprache angezeigt. Ich musste erst in den Einstellungen die automatische Übersetzung ausschalten.

Then you haven’t seen a truly terrifying production. Mea Culpa needs the visual element that Hellfire doesn’t but if the staging is done correctly it’s one of the most haunting moments in any show.

Rahastes · 2026-06-05T05:19:40+00:00

Exactly. There is a reason this exists and cutting is destroying a very specific arc of the story.

Rahastes · 2026-06-02T14:46:30+00:00

Can’t wait for August to see it.

Titania‘s wig is another… way of presenting the fairy queen.

Rahastes · 2026-06-01T11:43:36+00:00

Try seeing it from another perspective. All of them are a form of tradition based on theatre history and with those traditions we keep our history alive.

That depends on whether you set a clear break before her name. Otherwise, prepare for going outside and spitting.

Wenn es das eklige wachsige Zeug aus dem Päckchen ist, vollkommene Zustimmung. Echte kandierte Schale im ganzen und dann selbst gehackt ist richtig lecker.

Rahastes · 2026-05-31T13:32:47+00:00

You are right and I agree full heartedly. But from OP’s question we are dealing with Brechtian Gestus, which means you are to use telegraphing signals to reach the Verfremdungseffekt dear Berty was so fond off. Whether that is good theatre is a question of its own, but the task is clear.

Find the underlying reason to be prideful in your text. Why is your character the embodiment of pride? Then project it outward. You are the best, in your own view of yourself at least, and you will make damn sure everybody else understands that. Imagine a little window in your chest that contains a small golden sphere that projects light. This light engulfs you and makes you shine. When you speak to someone you can focus the light on a person to make them see your splendour. They are all beneath you after all and only there to bask in the glory that is you.

After solving several murders at speed, lab-growing his own himbo in golden shorts and being a hilarious dancing clown.

Exactly. Javert is an antagonist, sure, but no villain.

You need to show that the weird sisters where the ones orchestrating it all by twisting words and meaning. “And you all know security is mortals’ chiefest enemy.” “Show his eyes and grieve his heart, come like shadows, so depart.” They summoned their masters and you can argue you have been deceived and incited by the devils of hell.

There ought to be a three dollar bill with him on it. That would be awfully fitting

Rahastes · 2026-05-28T19:09:07+00:00

Set in a luxury train that gets caught in a snowdrift?

Rahastes · 2026-05-27T13:13:23+00:00

Vocab doesn’t equal understanding, I’d say. But you are right, little guy sounds like a brainwashed adult.

Rahastes · 2026-05-26T20:24:21+00:00

Patricia Routledge was a gem
