Steamthello!

Hold Thy Peace officially has a show for spring semester! We will be performing The Tragedy of OTHELLO, the Moor of Venice, directed by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] aurora_knight and [livejournal.com profile] meamcat! They are going to doing it in a steampunk setting with everyone having clockwork enhancements except for the Moor, whose Otherness will be represented by his plain, boring, fallible humanity in contrast to their technologically-altered superiority. I think this will be an excellent, exciting, and visually stunning production and I'm very happy they're getting to do it.

The side project also got through! Merely Players, as [livejournal.com profile] marigumi and [livejournal.com profile] nennivian suggested we call it, will also be going up next semester. This metatheatrical and melodramatic little piece commenting on the nature of putting on a show with a troupe will be coordinating with Othello to exist side by side and expand HTP's repetoire a bit further. I was very pleased to see how many people were interested in it. Should give me some options on creative casting. Now I just have to finish the damn thing, don't I?

Tonight, then, shall be for writing. I have nothing else on my agenda, so I believe I will staying in, working on scripts, character sheets, and various and sundry writing projects that currently are on my plate. I shall have to make myself a nice dinner, get comfy, and settle in to work.

ppppffffffibbut! THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF THIS! [sighs]. I feel so out of the loop. Anyhow, it sounds exciting! Makes me wish I could be in two places at once . . . despite the serious cosmic wrath such blatant disregard for The Rules Of The Universe would inevitably bring down upon me. I miss you!
