Hamlet! Hamlet! Hamlet!

[altariel]

I saw Hamlet yesterday with Doctor Who and Captain Picard! I pretended it was set in space and then it was exactly like a Vorkosigan book! I am still too excited to say sensible things yet!

::giggles:: Ah yes, I was wondering why my hormones were going insane yesterday-- I'd forgotten that you were seeing a cetain Time Lord as a Danish prince. :)

So? Were there any kisses? Could you tell how much air exchange there was? This paper isn't going to write itself...

There weren't any that I could see, although we were to one side and he did occasionally have his back to us. Actually, for the first few minutes of his first soliloquy he was on his knees with his arse to us. It's a hard knock life.

*sigh* such a difficult life...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Someone has to do it.

It sounds as though you enjoyed it, then. :-) I'm glad it was so good.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I did enjoy myself, thanks!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

(I take this to be more proof of what iainjcoleman said, that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would be writing for Doctor Who. And he would win Hugos.)

I'm going to write something about this Bujold thing as soon as I get a chance. It's absolutely the story of what would have happened if Aral had been persuaded that the best thing was to receive the Emperorship while Gregor was still young...

OMG the Mother of All AUs! Something rotten in the heart of ... Brilliant! Glad you had such an inspiring time.

The set had big sparkly chandeliers, and the men all wore smart suits or military gear or huge fantastical uniforms.

Splendid! A touch of the Dune mini series perhaps ...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oh, now that's making my head hurt...

[edge-of-ruin.livejournal.com]

It's probably all those hats.

This is such a brilliant comment...

The set and costume design totally enabled me in this: I'm going to write more about this as soon as I get a chance.

[dberry.livejournal.com]

I'm so jealous!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was great, I wish I could have smuggled you in!

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

Oh man, EVERYONE is going to see that! My mum went a couple of nights ago, and she said it was fantastic! Did Dr Who and Captain Picard make out?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

There was a bit in the middle where it went dark and we all went to the bar - I think they must have made out then.

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

Must have done.

I know what you mean about space. I am trying to write something about that at the moment. A month after seeing it I am certain it was a lifetime-remember experience. Utterly wonderful. I have always resisted being a Tennant fangirl, but I must say he quite won me over. I also thought the production was as clear and satisfying as air and water.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

We got chatting to the woman at the desk as we were picking up the tickets, and she particularly praised the clarity of the production, said it was just like people talking.

I was feeling somewhat stern towards Tennant before I went in, but I thought he was terrific. That's a person I've seen so often: the brilliantly desperate young man who knows how much cleverer he is than everyone else, and yet can't hold any of it together.

Heh! Tell me more...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Your wish is my command!

[trixieleitz]

Hee, brilliant!

Like I said to dberry, I wish I could have smuggled in all my friends.
