Heads or tails?

So I finally chose my play for my final.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

It's kind of funny that fandom was one of my deciding reasons behind picking it up and actually going through with reading it. There's a few Ros and Guil-muns lurking around the depths of dear_mun , and it amused me that plays have fandoms at all. But I guess I'm still learning about the depths that fandom actually goes to. Gives me home that not everyone is a half-stupid fan brat. Their dynamic is certainly worth reading, so I can see why some one might be struck for a muse of them.

Thoughts from anyone who's actually read it? I'm a little under halfway through right now, but I need to go see if I can print out a copy from Google since I need a copy that can be written on and turned in.

... have I ever said how strange my drama teacher is? Cause she is. Really.

Also. It's hot. But anyone who's been in Oregon, Washington and California the past week knows this.

Oh and my copy of Project Diva came today. Wee!

I played a tragedian in my freshman year! I know the play pretty well from a literary and philosophical standpoint, so I can probably help you out if you have questions about anything. I don't know much about the fandom, since it's one I try to stay away from (I love the original play too much).

I don't blame you. Fandom can get scary sometimes.

I've got to do a 15 minute presentation on it. Any suggestions?

I played Gertrude in my High School's production when I was a sophomore. I just love theater of the absurd (a term that it a must when writing about Stoppard.) If you need help just e-mail. Our audit is done so I have some time again, for a little bit.

Oooh that sounds fun.

I'll be sure to get a hold of you if I need anything. ^^

Ooh I love that play! I found it intriguing and amusing at the same time. I found a copy at the 1/2 price book store a few years ago, you might try checking those for a copy. There was also a video made of the play too that you could probably check the library for. I liked the book better but it might be worth looking for. Good luck!

I got a full priced copy, but I don't mind, it was only about 12 bucks. And I found the video at my school and loved it. My presentation went very well, too. I used the questions scene and acted it out with a friend, and got quite a few laughs from the class.
