[thehours2002]

since i am in complaining about men mode, in a group setting i asked who was playing desdemona in the upcoming production of othello. a man interjects and says “it doesn’t matter” because denzel washington is in the show. i reply with “what is wrong with you?!”

one defense of his statement was the fact that the production is centering denzel and jake gyllenhaal in its promotional material. sure, but just because their names sell tickets does not neutralize the importance and artistic contributions of the women in that cast. like, denzel is a great actor but miss me with that worshipping of male artists to the point of diminishing the talents of anyone else involved in their artistic projects

Quarter Notes: Blurbs & Briefs from Sound Bites

- In this edition: Blind Boys of Alabama; Freddie O’Connell for Nashville mayor; Neil Young & Crazy Horse; & the Beatles

JIMMY CARTER ON RETIREMENT FROM BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA: Jimmy Carter, the 91-year-old Blind Boy of Alabama, said it was his voice, not his age, that led him to retire from the road and make the forthcoming Echoes of the South his final album with the group.

“I promised myself - and I promised the Blind Boys - that I would never do anything to cause them a disservice,” he told Salvation South. “My voice is gone now, I have no more voice, so I refuse to go out there like that. And it’s just not good for me now to go (on the road). I want to go out while I’m ahead, not behind.”

MUSICIANS FOR FREDDIE: Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, Allison Russell, Brittney Spencer, Brothers Osborne, Butch Walker, Ketch Secor, Maren Morris, Molly Tuttle and Will Hoge are among the musicians backing Freddie O’Connell for Nashville mayor in the city’s Sept. 14 runoff election.

“Get ’em Freddie,” Isbell tweeted. “We need ya.”

MICAH NELSON GETS ON THE HORSE: Micah Nelson, also known as Particle Kid, will step in for Nils Lofgren when Neil Young & Crazy reunite for two shows - Sept. 20 and 21 - at Los Angeles’ Roxy. Lofgren, it seems, is moonlighting with a little outfit known as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

ALL YOU NEED IS FAB: Utopia’s Kasim Sulton and Gil Assayas, the Tubes’ Kasim Sulton and Zero’s Steve Kimock are among the musicians joining forces as All You Need is Love for a run of January 2024 concerts celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Beatles’ arrival in America.

[mariacallous]

There’s a sense of occasion to the new “Othello” now at the Barrymore, on Broadway—Denzel Washington, one of our last true movie legends, is playing the titular role, and Jake Gyllenhaal, no slouch in the stardom department himself, appears as his evil saboteur, Iago. Producers are charging north of nine hundred dollars for orchestra seats, the kind of ludicrous, norm-busting event pricing that somehow drives demand; the sidewalk outside buzzes with excitement. Inside the theatre, though, it’s another story.

In Shakespeare’s oddly comic tragedy, jealousy is the prime mover. As the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks squabble over Cyprus in the background, the men before us quarrel over everything—a woman, a job, a handkerchief. Iago, a veteran soldier, hates Othello, his general, a Moor who fights for Venice: Iago’s missed out on a promotion, and he also half believes a rumor that Othello has seduced his wife, Emilia (Kimber Elayne Sprawl). His hatred devours all but his capacity to lie and plot; “I am not what I am,” he says. Iago turns his sights to ruining Othello’s new wife, Desdemona (Molly Osborne), with false clues and poisonous innuendo. Envious of what Othello has, he takes it.

You need energy and clarity to make “Othello” work—to make the language sing and to propel the deceptions forward—especially because the vicious Iago hasn’t got an actual goal, just an appetite for chaos and a ready little knife. The director, Kenny Leon, is uninterested in clarity, though, and the vibe is mild depression: a pre-show projection reading “The Near Future” doesn’t turn out to be particularly useful, and the dreary, gray-columned set, designed by Derek McLane, looks like a parking garage. (Dede Ayite dresses the soldiers in de-rigueur fatigues, the Venetian senators in suits.) Famously, Iago hurls racist abuse behind Othello’s back, calling him, for example, an “old black ram,” and that poison, too, worms its way into Othello’s mind. “I am black and have not those soft parts of conversation that chamberers have,” he says to himself, alone. In this production, Emilia is Black, as are some soldiers in Iago’s platoon. The casting choices might raise a whole host of interesting questions about how this Venice reflects our own time, but Leon doesn’t foreground, or even really acknowledge, them.

Leon and Washington have had triumphs together, namely the Broadway productions of August Wilson’s “Fences,” in 2010, and Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” in 2014. In those shows, Leon turned his eye for behavior to prop-heavy naturalism, where he seems most graceful and at ease. Here, there’s very little reality in his direction—Emilia switches randomly among the jobs of lady’s maid, glamorous chief of staff, and camo-wearing lieutenant, for instance—and too few people look at one another when they talk. At least Gyllenhaal, crazy as a scorpion, makes a point of facing the people he’s bamboozling, jabbing his hand at them as if he could drive his lies in by force. He and Andrew Burnap, playing Cassio, one of Iago’s many persuadable fools, find nice moments together, largely because they seem like they’re in conversation. The rest of the time, if there are more than a handful of actors onstage they drift into a half circle, the hallmark of amateur staging.

When Washington enters, we sense, for one bright moment, the Othello that might have been: he charges in, tucking his white shirt into his blue trousers, and here is his Don Pedro from “Much Ado About Nothing” (the Kenneth Branagh film from 1993), still forceful and on the go. As long as he’s joshing with other soldiers, or glad-handing senators, he moves comfortably. And, early in the first act, Washington’s touch with the verse is casual, knowing, deft. The trouble hits when he greets his “soul’s joy,” Desdemona—who is dressed in a series of Political Wife pants suits—and exhibits only a faint, avuncular enthusiasm. As Leon’s production toils blandly along, Washington employs a light, high delivery, lapsing into vagueness and singsong. Nothing commands his full attention. Othello is supposed to be “declined into the vale of years,” but Washington moves past what might be a portrait of an overtaxed old general into apathy.

Sinking onto Desdemona’s bed, reciting his lines without notable crescendo or feeling, Washington puts Osborne into a weary headlock, and then kind of leans on her to death. As Act V plays out, Othello is often found sitting on this bed, staring out into space. Watching Washington’s gotta-take-a-load-off finish reminded me of his most recent Broadway performance, in 2018—as Hickey in Eugene O’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh,” another presumed cuckold who, it turns out, has murdered his wife. In that production, the director George C. Wolfe had Washington conclude the play sitting in a chair at center stage. As in “Othello,” he stopped engaging with the cast around him, delivering his monologue like an aria, straight out to the audience.

Maybe Washington just doesn’t like blocking? My suspicion is that a director in a rehearsal room, looking at the megastar as he runs his lines, thinks, If only people could experience what we see here, without necessarily calculating the difference between that small room and a Broadway house. But these ill-spent moments do, I think, matter. Ticket prices aside, the theatre really cannot afford to waste a chance with Washington like this. He values the stage, and returns to it often, but, at seventy years old, he’s started hinting in interviews about retirement. It’s heartening, therefore, that he has been talking about a film of “Othello.” I can see it in my mind’s eye already—his magnificently tired face filling a screen, where we can finally see the flickers of waning nobility and waxing madness. Also, it’ll cost maybe twenty-five bucks.

There are still bargains to be had this week in live theatre, however. On Twenty-third Street, at a long, narrow, no-frills space called Nancy Manocherian’s the cell theatre, you can pay fifty dollars and get a “Friday Night Lights”-inflected synthwave-musical retelling of Homer’s Iliad, performed by a joyfully committed ensemble. “The Trojans,” written and composed by the hugely gifted Leegrid Stevens and directed by Eric Paul Vitale, is that rara avis: a gorgeously produced downtown epic, somehow both trash-based (the costume designer, Ashley Soliman, has made football armor out of knee-pad inserts, for example) and luxurious, rich in the way that theatre is meant to be rich—with imagination, intelligence, and potential.

On entry, the room looks like an Amazon warehouse, with boxes piled to the ceiling. If you take a minute to read the labels, though, something seems odd: the addresses all list places like Parthenon, Arkansas, and Athens, Georgia. The glum workers pushing their hydraulic carts and listening to a tinny boom box perk up the moment someone mentions the “old days,” when their town resounded with the rivalry between two high-school football teams, the Trojans and the Highland Kings. Soon, the workers are reënacting the run-up to a long-ago homecoming game—way back in the nineteen-eighties, I’m guessing, based on the occasional Walkman. Back then, the prom queen, Heather (Deshja Driggs), left her boyfriend, Johnny (Roger Casey), for the allure of Highland’s arts program, and everyone freaked out.

Is Heather Helen of Troy? She certainly causes mayhem, as the teen-agers drive their cars—those same hydraulic carts, weaving only inches from the audience—toward disaster. Paris is the coy Daris (Arya Grace Gaston), and the doomed hero Achilles has become the grim-faced Trojan running back Keeley (Erin Treadway, in boxer braids and golden work boots), who refuses to take the field after Johnny utters a fatal insult. Stevens has slyly flipped the sides in Homer’s poem, but we’re not here for a one-to-one narrative mapping of a Bronze Age tragedy. Instead, we’ve come for the same reason that scouts go to high-school football finals: to see stunning talents like Casey and Treadway before everyone else hears about them, and to get back in touch with our love of the game.

music shuffle game 🎵

rules: shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and post the first 10 songs, then tag 10 friends to do the same.

i was tagged by @itwoodbeprefect, <3, and i am doing it almost immediately bc i'm procrastinating watching gynaecology lectures.

Now I'm In It by HAIM - i think this originally got on here because i was writing sell your fear and it's very much One of its Songs, but it's stayed on there bc HAIM have an unsurpassed talent at creating hooks that Will be inescapable in your head for 2-5 business months

I'm The Only One by Melissa Etheridge - there's always at least one Etheridge on there. there's usually no greater context than 'it's the one i got obsessed with a month ago'

Talking To My Angel by Melissa Etheridge - uh. see above. but there actually is a greater context as to why this one's still on here, which is that after getting obsessed with it generally, I started watching White Collar and got obsessed with it as a Neal Caffrey song

I'm Holdin' Onto Love (To Save My Life) by Shania Twain - i'm still making this starsky/hutch video. i promise

The Magic by The Aces - actually this is another one that came onto the list on its own merits (smug sapphic pop rock <3) but then also got white-collared. there's a neal/el/peter alternative take on 2x15 Power Play fic in my head somewhere and it's set to this song

The Prophecy by Taylor Swift - honestly surprised this is still on there. had it stuck in my head for a couple weeks but i thought that was ages ago. (also a neal song but that's too sad for me to think about / listen to it)

Queen of Hearts by Juice Newton - has been on here for at least six months. i vaguely think there may have originally been a ship reason i started listening to it again, but now it's just that i love the song (it was originally a Jack/Ianto song for me, which tells you how long i've been listening to it. but i do stand by that ship assignation also)

Get To Movin' Again by Brothers Osborne - whatever else i listen to i am inherently a country gal. this is just a classic bop

Down Bad by Taylor Swift - also surprised this one's on there. it was up the top when TTPD dropped, but I didn't think I'd particularly listened to it for a while.

Papa Was A Rodeo by Orville Peck & Molly Tuttle - I went and listened to the og after listening to this one on repeat when the album came out and. i gotta say. no disrespect to the magnetic fields but what the hell were you doing. did you listen to your own lyrics this NEEDS to be sung as a full-hearted swinging country song. luckily Orville delivers on that

LONG WISHLIST POST UNDER THE CUT. DM me if you're interested in starting any of these:

ALL POTC Characters: All curses at sea are broken with the destruction of Poseidon’s Trident, but there must always be someone to ferry the souls of those lost at sea to the afterlife, and with Will Turner escaping his fate on the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones is recalled from the dead, a new curse reclaiming him in order to fulfill this purpose. After escaping it with his death, peace in the afterlife, he’s more livid than he was before. At Will Turner, at Jack Sparrow, at Calypso, the world.

Azriel - finding his mate please & thank (i have no stake in the ship wars like I’m down for either of the popular theories or also someone new thanks) Stannis - taking King’s Landing at the battle of the Blackwater. :)! Daisy - meeting with other former members of the band (sans Billy obviously) after the break up of the band because she was friendly with them Karen - running into other members of the band (especially Graham) years later Baron - Escaping prison and going after the Strongholds for revenge and finding out his own son is friends with Will Frank - Exploring other relationships within members of the Victory Project, besides his one with Alice (which I love) or Shelley (ditto) Loki - Tricking Thanos and not actually dying at the beginning of Infinity War and surviving the Snap (or dying in the Snap and coming back for the final battle but I prefer the former because Thor needs a goddamn break) Carolyn - surviving on the dark planet, somehow, healing after the stab and eating the creatures, repairing a ship and getting the hell out of there, running into other characters from the initial mission, or Riddick himself Madge - ending up in 13, having spent more time with Katniss’ family and Gale during the QQ, though her parents did not make it out 12. Being there for Katniss when she can be during her time in 13. Clemensia - Post the snake bite and into University, while still healing and reeling from the side effects of the snakes’ venom

Morrigan / Eris - Honestly, their marriage going through. I’m curious what would have happened. I’m also very interested to explore theories of what we THINK happened because context clues give us enough to know that Eris isn’t the guilty party. Tywin - Knowing or realizing that Arya was not who she claimed and taking her back with him to King’s Landing, but keeping her out of sight until after the wedding. Lily - More in any au where she apparates away with Harry to a safe house (Remus, Sirius, Dumbledore, Minerva, Molly, anyone in the Order). Harry Osborn - ANYTHING IN ANY VERSE HE’S MY BOY (he’s been neglected on my solo muse) Loki - His trick with Thanos being another feint: he’s duplicated himself once more, and reveals himself to Thor just after Thanos disappears and the ship explodes, both are saved by the Guardians. ETC. Ben / Adrian - Am I the only person who genuinely thought they were the best ship? That they absolutely loved each other in the end, until Mercy passed? Anyways, Mercy lives. And so thus do Ben and Adrian. Together. I can also see them moving past it if the show was so focused on having Ben be a pick me for Amy. Matt the Radar Tech - Running into SW people for laughs, them thinking he’s Ben. He’s not. They just look alike. A lot. Lily Page - Meeting her father (I still HC that as being Zorro) or repairing her friendship/relationship with Emma. Katniss - Instead of her tracker being cut out, it’s Peeta’s that is, and he is saved by 13, and she is taken to the Capitol to be tortured for information and to try and turn the tides against the Rebels. Bonnie - Someone love her please and don’t DIE IN THE MEANTIME. I’m a big fan of well done Bamon, Bonkai, Benzo, Bonora….But also could be convinced of anything. Rosalie - An idea being what if she was already married to Royce when he and his friends did what they did? The revenge plot takes an entirely different meaning when it’s a husband, particularly if she’s already been hoping for a child, which is further dashed by her survival and change into a vampire.

Nesta - accepting eris’ offer :)! Robb - making it to king’s landing and winning the war, liberating the North, and getting Sansa back to safety, then having to head out and find Arya. Violet - anything in her marvel or ouat verses tbh I spent a lot of time on those Shelley - taking over the Victory Project after killing Frank. Max - coming back after that summer for the start of college, much to everyone’s surprise and keeping his escapades close to the chest (idk the timeline of that show it was a fucking mess lmao) Mark, Lawrence - I want to write more about their dynamics with each other as apprentices to John. We only briefly get Mark and Amanda interacting - gimme more. Bruce - let’s throw out the entire mcu because it’s fucking trash for him thanks. Brunnhilde - More of her relationship with Carol :( Kamala - Building of the young avengers lets GOOO Loki - anything :( Sid - I am fuLLY CONVINCED SID IS THE FATHER AND JESSE IS A RED HERRING (I already have this going I just wish more people cared about HIMYF) Brian - Going to NY and seeing Justin again. :)! Snow White - anything :( Charming - I have about 90420934902 aus for him honestly. I have so many ideas for this stupid idiot. Neal - surviVING AND COPARENTING WITH EMMA AND REGINA SHIPS DON’T FUCKING MEAN YOU HAVE TO KILL A GOOD CHARACTER WHO LITERALLY WAS THE REASON RUMPLESTILTSKIN MANIPULATED REGINA INTO CASTING THE FUCKING CURSE MY GOD THIS SHOW PISSES ME OFF anyways Davy Jones - returning after the ‘curse’ is lifted from Will Turner, because someone must always be there to ferry the souls to the other side Ben Solo - ANYTHING :( Jyn - her and Cassian getting evacuated just before the explosion and surviving, assisting the Rebellion. Finn - training as a jedi (either trilogy re-write or post trilogy) Jar Jar - i s2g if someone doesn’t write with Sith Jar Jar… Anakin and Padme - either an au where she convinces him to run away with her and leave everything behind and raise their children on Naboo before Obi Wan shows up and he believes her when she says she didn’t know he was there and they enlist his help in staging their deaths OR an au where he convinces her to join him on his path to the dark side. (i write both so I’ll write either) Carolyn - escaping the dark planet after surviving the stabbing, living off of the creatures that would be her demise, fixing a ship in the darkness, built by lights she manages to fix throughout the rubble, and fires made along the way. finding other riddick characters / riddick himself Coriolanus Snow - Exploring more of his additions to the games and how he helped to curate them to be the spectacle they became. Annie - Not having anyone to volunteer for her so having to go through the Quarter Quell with Finnick (Hi I love PAIN). Not escaping the Arena and being taken back to the Capitol. Madge - Watching the Games with Katniss’ family and thus being there when the blackouts happen and escaping District 12 with Gale and everyone else to District 13. Kili - surviving PLS Renesmee Carlie - more of her dynamic growing up in a town that’s definitely got an attraction for the supernatural. Bella - not taking Edward back immediately, actually being pissed that he lied like what a dick Sam - imprinting on LEAH jfC WHAT A WASTE (or better yet, Leah being the first wolf to change and imprinting on HIM thanks) Garrett - torn between natural instincts, love for Kate, and never letting himself be tested by a challenge, learning how to survive and satiate on animal blood vs. human blood

Wishlist based solely on songs from TTPD. Please do not steal. Message me if interested. These are VAGUE IDEAS based on the song lyrics, not based on the history behind the songs or their literal meanings. Muses listed are just ideas, but they’re all open to all muses. Mentions of drug use, alcohol abuse, mental illness, abuse, etc. are involved in many so if those trigger you, I would not read more. This is part 1. I will put more at a later date:

Fortnight: A manic episode turned into full psychosis, muse A ends up in a psych ward. Muse B (either another patient or the treating doctor) and Muse A fall for each other, creating a scenario either in the minds or in the midst of Muse A being released. I love you, it’s ruining my life.

The Tortured Poets Department: Muse A and Muse B are in a situationship, but Muse A wants more, while Muse B is happy with their situation, considering the benefit of their freedom to explore other options, while both muses are using the relationship to advance their own perspective lives (either in writing, music, etc.). Muse A is desperate to keep Muse B, but Muse B is not committed. Who’s gonna hold you like me? Nobody. Nofuckingbody.

My boy only breaks his favorite toys: Muse A falls in love with Muse B, and is madly in love, until time has wasted away their relationship, and Muse A realizes they are not in love, but they also don’t want to be the one to end things. Endlessly breaking them down, emotionally, until Muse B ends it themselves. There was a litany of reasons why we could’ve played for keeps this time. — cause you should’ve seen him when he first saw me.

Down Bad: Falling for someone quickly and suddenly only to have them ghost, disappear, almost like they weren’t really there in the first place.

So Long, London: Muse A uproots their entire life to be with Muse B, moving far away from their home, friends, family, and essentially pours everything into the relationship. It’s great, for a while, and Muse A even falls in love with the place they live, but the messy breakup does cause it to be hard to leave. Eventually, Muse A does leave when the relationship shows no future, but moving on is harder than expected. And I’m just getting color back into my face. And I’m just mad as hell ‘cause I loved this place.

But Daddy I love Him: Muse A and Muse B are in a controversial relationship. Muse A is constantly warned by family and friends that Muse B is bad news. Everyone is constantly trying to get Muse A to leave Muse B, but they are far too deep into it now. I’ll tell you something right now, I’d rather burn my whole life down, then listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning. I’ll tell you something about my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace.

Fresh out the Slammer: Muse A has been in a long time relationship, but it’s ending quickly, and tumultuously, and as soon it’s over, they call Muse B, their ex (either relationship or situationship or hookup), because they want someone familiar, who they know they can love and who loves them in return. Fresh out the slammer I know who my first call will be to.

Florida!!!!: Muse A has had a messy breakup, and wants to escape. Muse B lives in a far off place, and invites Muse A to escape there, where they can be fun, and messy, and forget the past. Bury their ex’s in the swamp (figuratively) and move on. So I did my best to lay to rest all of the bodies that have ever been on my body.

Guilty as Sin?: Muse A and Muse B are dancing around each other, for several reasons. Fantasies aside, what is stopping them from taking the next step? What if he’s written 'Mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind?

Guilty as sin Elriel plots when? OR Feysand? Fresh out the Slammer Neris plots when? Who’s afraid of little old me Nesta embracing Lady Death plots when? So long london Feyre about the Spring Court plots when? The Albatross being Nesta plots when? I hate it here Nesta plots when? The Prophecy Lucien plots when?

[tenaciouspostfun]

After bring "OurTown" into the modern, director Kenny Leon who directs "Othello" at the Barrymore Theater, brings this classic into the future and it is awful.

Set in 2018 with not much of a set, this baron performance is as much so with a weak, non existent set. At almost $1,000 dollars a ticket, you would think the show would be more indulgent and impressive.

This Broadway season like the last has been filled with big names from Hollywood and ticket prices have been through -the-roof. Many fringe theater critics have been shut out of these shows as I have been. I guess hitting over 100 million people a month worldwide is small to these shows! Unfortunately, I bought a ticket to this show as I did with the recent George Clooney's "Goodnight".

The two stars of this production of "Othello" are just not really good in their roles. Denzel Washington as Othello is very mundane and insipid. I'm not sure if Washington was directed like this or if he just knows how badly the show is. Jake Gyllenhaal as Lago speaks so rapidly that it is difficult to pick up what he is saying and digest what he is saying and where it goes to the plot line.

As Cassio, Andrew Burnap is sufficient; Molly Osborne as Desdemona and Andrew Lopez as Roderigo are awful in their roles in the supporting cast. But here lies the question: are the actors bad or is it the direction? Like "Our Town", many actors were miscast and slow in their delivery onstage. This seems to be a pattern under Kenny Leon's direction. The last three shows that Leon has directed ("Othello, "Our Town" and "Purly Victorious") have all bombed. All three shows were critically and audience panned for slowness and lack of depth.

Audience members had to check their phones before entering the theater which to me is a good thing. For this production, one wonders if it was due to the slowness that may have enticed a viewer to go on and pass the time out of boredom. The audience around me kept asking during the show what is going on? At big ticket prices and big stars this season, it almost seems that the theater goer is more into seeing stars than seeing the actual show. This newer, more trendy audience is all about seeing the right, trendy shows than seeing theater for theater itself.

If ticket prices remain this high for shows, much of the loyal theater goers will be priced out of shows and it will leave a void for the avid theater lover. Like "Goodnight", lousy shows leave a stain on Broadway. In "Goodnight", Clooney was thin and one dimensional. In "Othello", both Gyllenhaal and Washington disappoint in epic proportions. The set disappoints, the direction disappoints as well. To set this classic into the future goes againts the current of classic theater. Kenny Leon has bent this classic towars how he sees this classic piece as well as how he sees the world. Like "Our Town", Leon takes a great work and changes the play on how he would like to see the town and audiences overwhelmingly reject it.

Between the absorbent ticket prices and directors changing the underlying messages to fit their own narrative, Broadway maybe in a heap of trouble. They may lose the classic theater lover all together. It is one thing to produce a modern "Ghosts" or "Dolls House" in the modern with some depth to them, it is another to produce a modern "Othello" that has no whereabouts to it. The play gets lost 10 minutes into it and never finds its way back.
