“But, O, what form of prayer

Can serve my turn? “Forgive me my foul murder”?

That cannot be, since I am still possessed

Of those effects for which I did the murder:

My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen.

May one be pardoned and retain th’ offense?”

-claudius, hamlet, 3.3, lines 55-60

anyway what if this reasoning is part of isabella’s thought process in measure for measure? because to her, breaking her vow of chastity is a mortal sin, and yes, the effect would—according to the terms of the proposition—be to save her brother’s life, but…

if she were to try to repent, and her brother were still alive, wouldn’t repenting be the same as condemning her brother a second time? saying that she wishes he were dead? under this logic, if she were to agree to sleep with angelo (and i think a huge part of the problem is that angelo is trying to make her feel as if she shoulders some of the culpability, or really shift it onto her, even though OBVIOUSLY SHE HAS NO CULPABILITY WHATSOEVER IN THIS SITUATION OH MY GOD), could she ever repent of it unless her brother dies by the law?

it’s a no-fucking-win situation.

A night on the town

Sharon and I made the 35-mile drive to elegant Savannah Friday night where we ate seafood chowder and grilled salmon at the Crystal Beer Parlor, moseyed through the city’s lush town squares, then went to a Lyle Lovett concert at the Johnny Mercer Theatre.

Mercer -  composer of American-songbook gems like “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses” - is, of course, Savannah’s favorite son. He was born in Savannah in 1909 and grew up in the shadows of the live oaks.

As for Lyle Lovett  ... he’s been part of our household songbook for decades. His “ Large Band” is now his “Acoustic Group”  but it’s still Lyle, with his unique take on new-wave country/Western swing/Texas blue-grass ... 

The beer was cold, the food was good, the show was brilliant.

Stranger Flings

LOVE FROM A STRANGER Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, Saturday 13th April 2024 Written by Frank Vosper in 1936, based on a short story from 1924 by Agatha Christie, this is not so much a whodunit as a who’s-gonna-get-it, as the identity of the murderer is hinted at almost from the start.  It’s the story of Cecily who, having won much more than a lucky dip on the lottery, finally believes she can…

Jane Doe (Ride the Cyclone) Propaganda:

Great singing, also she’s literally wearing a doll‘s head bc she lost hers

do they have their soul or is it rotting somewhere with their head?

BALLAD OF JANE DOE IS SO SAD AND SHE IS GREAT AND I ONLY WATCH RTC ONCE BUT SHES NY FAVE OK

cool asf

She forgets her name after her death and has no story told in the production

She's so sweet and deserves the world. Her song (The Ballad of Jane Doe) is great.

the song goes so hard just listen to her song guys please

she literally died and her head was cut off so nobody could tell who she was PLEASE let her take one (1) W

BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING. First she already won the tournament in the musical to regain life, as she won them over with her sad wet cat energy because she did not have a head and feared that she lost her soul. Second, she died on a roller coaster and lost her head, but stole her doll's head and thats very gender. Third, throughout the musical she is used as a vessel for religious allegory, she is an angel, she is jesus, she is a demon, she is forsaken but she is purity itself. Fourthly, she is is given the identity of Savannah with the greenest eyes after the other characters who died with her hold her a birthday party, and I think thats sweet because its probably some kind of meaning I cant see but auughfhfhh shes so cool

i mean her name isn't TECHNICALLY jane doe but we refer to her as such. she's so silly!! autism powers! i don't have a lot of propaganda tbh. i would've just been surprised had she NOT been submitted

She lost her head literally when the rollercoaster derailed. She wasn't able to be identified apart from the school uniform she was wearing.

Her name is forgotten, and so is everything about her. So she’s called Jane Doe. She’s very sweet and very creepy, but she doesn’t mean it

and im asking WHYYYYY LORRRRRDDD

I LOVE HER! she died in a roller coaster accident and was decapitated, her body not being found. in the show, her head is actually just her doll’s head. the coroners couldn’t identify her, so she was dubbed a jane doe. in the game to be alive again, she ends up being voted, her name being revealed to be penny lamb. anyways she’s a little creepy and also quite silly and she does her funny little waddle like a porcelain doll (or corpse).

She deserves it! She lost her head she shouldn't lose this too.

Not convinced you didn’t start this tournament just for her tbh

They have a great song and a true air of mystery to them. They also have arguably the best song in the musical, The Ballad of Jane Doe! I would definitely recommend listening to it >:)

—She LOST her HEAD and had it replaced with a PORCELAIN DOLL —In all seriousness her story is really poignant. No one could identify her body so she arrives in the afterlife not knowing her identity and she spends the show vacillating between depressed and angry at her situation, leading to… —“The Ballad of Jane Doe”, specifically Emily Rohm’s version, might be the most haunting solo in musical theatre history.

John Doe (Malevolent) Propaganda:

Spooky gay eldritch disaster (am I doing this right?)

Could have chosen any name for himself and picked John because a kind person called him that :)

fractured piece of an eldritch god that shares a body with a private eye after being fractured. chooses the name John Doe after said private eye goes into a coma

Because he’s an eldritch god who wants to feel human and who overcame a lot of obstacles and dangers!!! He sincerely cares about the main character!!! And he chose a name himself! Isn’t he cute??? He lost his body, he almost lost his memory, he fought for his right to exist, he loves animals, he loves his friend Arthur and I love him!

Being an ass, friendship, spooky supernatural stuff, he’s got it all

My man heard the name John Doe, realized he didn’t actually have a name, and just. Took it for himself.

I LOVE HIM. MY SON. HE’S TRYING TO CHANGE AND BE BETTER AND :(((( He’s a fragment of the soul of the King in Yellow (god of trickery and suffering iirc??) that gets trapped in a book in our realm while the rest of the King stayed in his own separate realm. When a human named Arthur Lester opens the book they get linked and John gains control of Arthur’s eyes & kills his partner (oops!). They proceed to go on a quest to find a way of separating them because neither likes the situation, and at first John (or The Entity, which is what he’s called at first) just wants to trick and use Arthur, and control his entire body (through the first season he also gets a hand & a foot) even though he doesn’t remember being The King In Yellow at the time, but Arthur makes him change and become more human. His turning point is when Arthur is shot and falls into a coma for a month. They get treated at a hospital and while John waits for Arthur to wake up so they can carry on, the body itself still gets taken care of. The time John spends alone, contemplating on humanity & everything he’s seeing and learning from Arthur, as well as the way a certain nurse speaks to him every day (specifically, she greets him good morning and good night, despite the body being unresponsive, John still hears because he is an entity linked to the body) and calls him John (they didn’t have ID on when they were found so they were classified as John Doe), changes his outlook and plans for good, and he asks Arthur to call him John; from this point on he admits he cares for Arthur, looks for his wellbeing too, and in general attempts to be a better person and to live for himself. The rest of the podcast (ongoing!!) explores Arthur & John’s relationship, struggle to survive, adventures in the eldritch… All while tackling each of their issues with themselves and each other and watching them both grow. John in specific learns to be the person he wants to be, how sometimes you’ll take a step forward and two backwards; he can be cruel and manipulative sometimes but he still tries. Personally I love his journey, it’s very realistic and you can see he is trying his best, and how he wants to be better than he was as the King In Yellow, and how much Arthur has changed him and how much he cares about him because of that; and how he’s slowly growing into being his own person :) if it ends badly ill cry so hard but!!! he’s John Doe because that’s the name he was being addressed as, and he’s made it his, and being John means he’s no longer the King and that he wants to be different, and John can fail or make mistakes but it’s part of who he is now, and that’s what matters. I am So Normal About Him

JOHN DOE (Malevolent) SWEEP

OH MY GOD JOHN DOE MY BELOVED 💛💛 (watch me just not clarify that would be so funny ahah) John doe (Malevolent) 💛💛💛 my silly He's so funny he makes Arthur bump his head into a dock because he didn't say duck in time and then laughs at him 💛💛

[infinitelytheheartexpands]

let’s watch a comedy with a bunch of errors

[timegays]

another swap au? Yes.

rambles below

Mischa-ocean: more of a jackass in this au. Big sports dude and is on the school football team. Convinced he’s the best and will be pissed if you challenge him. Tries to act cool and tough but is pretty lame.

ocean-Constance: that shy quiet girl who’s really smart. More to herself and shy. A bit of a pushover. People tend to use her just got get answers to things. Mischa just says he’s her friend so he can cheat off her.

noel-Ricky: you’re only getting French out of this man. Try as you might be refused to speak much else with a few exceptions. Still dreams of being Monique. Way more out there and expressive. Think of a theatre kid. Yea.

Ricky-noel: much more blunt and rude. Takes no shit. Dreams of being savannah and the same cat girl fantasy as her. More flamboyant about the space age bachelorette stuff.

penny/Jane-Mischa: angry and bitter. Was separated from Ezra and only cares about getting him back. Steals things and sells them to get some cash. Still a recluse but definitely more known in the community.

Constance- Jane: nobody remembers her. Her face was replaced with the glass from her glasses. It’s a mirror. She had nothing else to her name.

[kaleidoscopiccc]

little things i loved about trinity theatre's production of rtc (because i love this cast more than life and am totally not biased) (Ferris wheel cast btw)

 Feral Ocean (she kept trying to fight literally everyone)

Jane and Constance my darlings

Karnak laughing at his own jokes

Mischa kissing both Noel and Ricky out-of-song just for the hell of it

Noel and Constance friendship

"Talia" was a woman randomly picked from the audience and they all sung and danced around her

Noel doing basically the whole show in heels

The extra cats in SABM

The parts of the script from 2016 (Ricky kept his disability!!!)

Jane giving Noel a hug after Noels Lament (they are so best friend coded istg)

All. Of. Their. Voices

Mischa had a mullet

The extra bits they added

The actors looked exactly what I imagine their respective characters look like in my head (POC Noel, curly haired Ocean, literally everything about Constance)

SPEAKING OF CONSTANCE

OH MY GOD I LOVE HER

IM USUALLY NOT THE BIGGEST CONSTANCE FAN

BUT HOLY SHIT TIFFANY POLITE MADE HER EASILY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER

TRINITY CONSTANCE IS MY WIFE FUCK YOU

Jane making the doll clap after Ocean's speech

Just the doll in general

Ocean coming out with a little sombrero after Karnak mentions the song about affordable Mexican cuisine

Ricky playing the violin in Noel's Lament

Janes movements and eyes

Noel and Mischa cuddling after TNBS

Penny's dog is named Savannah

CONSTANCE SMILED AT ME DURING TBOJD I NEARLY DIED RIGHT THEN AND THERE

Ricky and Jane playing with the accordion and doll to make a rollercoaster after the Savannah scene

"FORNICATION UNDER CONSENT OF THE KINGGG" "no."

ESGAL kazoos

They changed the notes in Sugar Cloud to make it more fit for an altos range and I honestly liked it better than the og

Penny became a roller coaster engineer

Prop cameos in Penny's house

Jawbreaker and Sugar Cloud was surreal irl I will never shut up about how good Constance was

Virgil was just a projected video of a mouse eating cheese it was hilarious

Jane sung TBOJD while spinning on one of those the magicians boards

Constance had 2 party hats during TNBS, one on each space bun, she was adorable

Noel and Mischa started hyping Constance up after she punched Ocean

Noel and Ocean making up at the end

Ocean angrily sweeping the feathers from the boa after Noel's Lament

Noel was so sassy but supportive I love him

Jane disappearing behind the curtain after her entrance and Constance jump scaring her and everyone else when she opens it to see no one there… twice

Jane tying a ribbon around her neck then untying in the beginning and end Dream of Lifes

Ocean looked like that one character from over the garden wall with her party hat in TNBS

Constance crossing herself when Karnak brings up her virginity like Ocean

Ocean stealing the halo from Jane after the erection line

Ocean stretching and doing vocal warmups every time Constance tried to start the improv

THE ACTORS

HOLY HELL THEY WERE SO NICE

I LOVED ALL OF THEM

ESPECIALLY MIA

SHE WAS THE SINGLE COOLEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET HOLY SHIT

[janeya]

I do have things to say about the NextStop theatre production!! Sorry about the incoming infodump

1. The choir were constantly having little interactions in the background that made them really seem like friends

2. During Karnak’s introduction to each character before their song, the kids had like an npc/character selection movement, ex: Jane ripping her dolls head off, Mischa just straight up chugging a beer

3. Speaking of Jane’s doll, it had a head but was only attached to one side and would flop around a bunch when she moved, it was unsettling

4. Mischa wore goldfish socks

5. Like many other productions, the choir looked like they were being controlled by Karnak during the songs, except for jane, who wanted to be included and would sneak up behind people and terrify them

6. Constance, Jane, and Noel were the sexy cat women, which I don’t think I’ve seen before

7. After tnbs and the Savannah scene, Ricky and Jane shared the cupcake and it was really cute

8. The choir were so supportive of each other and especially to Constance in sugar cloud

9. When ocean picked Jane to be revived and her identity was revealed, confetti and pictures of penny’s life fluttered down from the ceiling, and the choir showed them to her while beginning its not a game/its just a ride. Then, right before Karnak died, they gave her the pictures and proudly sent her through the portal

This production was so cool!!! Wish I could see it again!

these are all so sick!!! i absolutely love the pictures coming down idea i think that's such a good concept. wish i could've seen it!!
