breakinglight11Well, the production of Macbeth got back to me, and I am cast! I have just accepted the part of Fleance, son of Banquo, who I believe at some point becomes (or at least his descendants do) king of Scotland. It's a part I've played before, and it's certainly not very large, but I am just happy to have gotten in at all. I believe rehearsals begin in early July, with performances from August 7th to 16th.
:-) I am pleased.

It involved a call from one of the boy's elementary school teachers: "Hello sir, I'm afraid Fleance got beaten up at school again today... I don't know what came over me".
Sadly, that is the main thing I associate with that name nowadays. I look forward to a worthy replacement. =;)

To expand the context, he fathers the family that becomes the stewards to the king, and later the stewards take over the rulership and are the Stuart lines of scotish kings. (James the 1st and 6th [of England and Scotland] is a Stuart).
Malcolm and Donalbain actually are the next to the throne following the events of the play.
