Taming of the Shrew
May. 2nd, 2003 08:51 amHoly Wow.
The performance last night was amazing. I laughed and giggled and hooted my way through the entire thing. An all male cast, and it wasn't guys playing female parts - they were all men, just some of them had to wear dresses. As soon as the house lights went down, the testosterone level in the room just hit the roof.
Kate was a little on the scrawny side, but he lent a sensitivity to his part that I never thought a screaming harridan (as Kate is billed as) could have. Bianca was incredible - this tall, muscular, hot black guy with a skirt and a little head piece. Such a vampy little flirt. Petruchio wasn't really handsome, but he was very manly. He wore that codpiece with style, let me tell you.
Other manly sexy bits: Grumio in overalls with nipple rings and cock rings around his wrists. scrumptious. The guy playing a couple of the servants' parts was adorable, with the monkey bit and the bouncing off the walls. The singing was lovely, and the rap by Lucentio's servants and the boyband bit when Petruchio drags Kate home were both priceless. All sparkly fen must see it! Better than SNL!
The funny manly non-sexy bit was Gremio humping his walker every time he talked about Bianca. Very snicker-ful.
I was breathless with laughter more than once. The audience was very responsive, which makes me rather glad I missed Sunday's lacklustre audience.
The last performance is Sunday, and there's a late-night cabaret performance after the show on Saturday. I'm very tempted. I wish we could get a slew of slashers to go - tickets are half-price if you have more than ten people, and it's so very slashy.
Hee.
And then on the way home, we stopped by Castle, and I was introduced to the wonder that is a porn superstore. Big like Target or something, with clearly marked sections, videos, books, magazines, lingerie in the middle, and all the penii, but plugs and fake vaginas and asses you could want. Some of those dildos could be used for weapons, I'm sure. Maybe a to-hit penalty of -2 (or whatever it is for exotic weapons *snork*) and 1d4 damage. And then you could have your magical dildos...
Oh, now there's a bad place. I'll just go uninstall some Hotbar, shall I?
