Oh my god I'm actually working on #orchestral #excerpts... I never enjoyed these back when I was auditioning, but today I felt like bringing some back out. Lots of work to be done, haha, but it's weirdly familiar to be playing them again.

Today was the scherzo from #midsummerNightsDream, mainly because my breath control has gone out the window and I know this will fix me, haha.

Here's the movement, it's about 5 minutes of #music, and if you don't know it, it's DEFINITELY worth a listen ^_^. The flute solo is near the end. You'll notice it, haha.

I'd love to see an album full of songs retelling Shakespeare, like Mixed Up Lovers by Dog Party.

Note: Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straights, and amazingly covered by the Indigo Girls, is one of my favorite songs, but not a retelling.

Well, I had an absolutely wonderful day in London yesterday, taking in a Shakespearean double-bill.

I started off with my first visit to the main theatre at Shakespeare's Globe (having previously only been to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse) for an excellent A Midsummer Night's Dream. Positioned right at the front of the yard, it was a real privilege to see this company, and the nuance of their performances, right up close.

Extras pose for a costume test on the set of Max Reinhardt's 1935 adaptation of Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM.

The Warner Bros film featured an all-star cast, including James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Olivia de Havilland, Jean Muir, Joe E. Brown, Dick Powell, Ross Alexander Anita Louise, Victor Jory, and Ian Hunter.

Best I can recall, it’s been about 15 years since I’ve auditioned for a play. I directed several in the five years that followed, but the last ten I’ve been a stranger to this place that used to be my second home. It’s well past time I came back. #midsummernightsdream
