i have an entire tracklist with who sings what drafted btw. i just need to find a way to make sure that pompey and caesar are played by the same actor in act 1 and 2 respectively
Can't run, can't stop, can't breathe, can't live, and I can't die. Can't hope to fix this mess, yet somehow still I have to try. Conceal, don't feel. Don't feel. Get back into the cage. I've unleashed a monster. I cannot stop the monster!
Rebecca, why is your Iphigenia (and Polyxena) tag "It begins and ends with a girl"? Where is it from and why did you choose it? I was talking with a friend about my own story and a character's role in it and the tag popped into my head, so I wanted to ask some more about that sentiment :)
i don't think it's from anything, but i've been using it for so long that honestly i don't remember why i chose it. it does speak to how much in greek myth everything comes down to girls, who are so often metaphor or instrument or vessels. a girl and a pomegranate makes a winter. a girl and her laundry makes an epic. a girl and a god makes a city or a nation, usually with not more than a name, a place, and a hero for a son. of course it takes a girl to start a war and to end it. they're the raw material out of which myth builds civilization.
new poll. are you going to marry a passionate antistratfordian who nonetheless loves the works, or someone who doesn't like shakespeare at all but understands he was real
