The last Shakespeare play I did was AS YOU LIKE IT, as both Dukes.

Seven-and-a-half pages so far and now it's time for a food break - I'm hoping to do ten pages by the end of this evening - we shall see. I did end up liking most of what I'd written a few weeks ago - just futzed and finessed it, added to it, subtracted from it, and made it smooth.

T.O.D.

1. I finished the first draft of the new THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS play, so today I will do the final touch-ups before I send it off to get my proof copy tomorrow.

2. Assuming we are not snowed or iced in, I will be taking wife Sandy out to her birthday dinner.

A Very Happy Birthday to DW Sandy!

Last night, I recorded the PBS New Year's Eve tribute concert to Leonard Bernstein and before I went to bed, set my DVD burner to record it from my DVR. Now, I'm editing it to burn the DVD.

Tonight, I believe he kitties and I will watch the BBC Shakespeare Love's Labours Lost. I'm getting through the plays I do not know well. After this, another play with a bed switch, All's Well That Ends Well.

Is Annabelle likely to audition for some Shakespeare in the new year?

I went to lunch with my friend and former co-worker, Dan, and three of his friends. We went to Uno Pizzeria and Grill.

Last night, the kitties and I watched the BBC Shakespeare production of Measure for Measure. Shakespeare sure sprawls in this one. Its final scene goes on way too long, and John McEnery's Lucio goes on way too long as comedy relief. As to the production, it's very beautiful with wonderful sets and costumes, and very well cast. Kate Nelligan is wonderful as Isabella, and a young Alun Armstrong plays the kindly Provost. Adrienne Corri was a prettier Mistress Overdone than I expected, but I've loved her since she played the clan leader in Vampire Circus.

Desperate Measures, in contrast, is very funny and it was over all too soon

I don't believe I have ever even read MEASURE FOR MEASURE.

It's a very dark play of lechery and hypocrisy set in a Vienna where fornication is punishable by death. The Duke claims to go off on a mission and gives full reign to rule Vienna to his friend Angelo; instead, the Duke disguises himself as a priest Friar Lodowick to see what's going on. Angelo closes the brothels, locks up the pimps and whores, and condemns young Claudio to death for fornication. His sister Isabella, a novitiate nun, pleads for his life but Angelo promises to save Claudio on the condition that Isabella sleep with him. She, Friar Lodowick, and Mariana, the woman once betrothed to Angelo, plan to replace Mariana in Isabella's bed. The next day, Angelo breaks his word and orders Claudio's immediate execution, forcing the Duke's return from his journey. Before it's over, Isabella is forced to believe her brother dead, the kindly jailer Provost is in jeopardy for declaring the head of another prisoner as Claudio's, Mariana has to plead for Angelo's life, and it goes on too long.

I also went to Barnes and Noble and got a 2018 wall calendar. All calendars are half price. Exciting news, huh?
