Kevin suggests you see KING JOHN
Sep. 22nd, 2005 02:05 pmI am swiping this from
fishymcb's journal because it's just brilliant. His assessment of our show is as calm, subtle, and nuanced as KING JOHN itself.

HEY KIDS! Tired of the same old forms of entertainment? Reality television giving you a rash? Is that Playstation 2 controller covered with that gross dirt and gunk from your heathen's hands? Does that Tom Clancy paperback make you long for the sweet, airtight embrace of death? Well, have I got the solution for you!
Come see the Rude Mechanicals production of KING JOHN at Laurel High School! They even let you choose which date you would like to attend! How's THAT for service with a smile, huh? Select from Friday, September 23 (why, that's tomorrow!), Saturday, September 24 (very popular with the ladies), Friday, September 30 (just added!), or Saturday, October 1 (that's a whole month away!). All shows are at 8 PM Eastern/6 PM Mountain time. Tickets are just $10, $8 for students and senior citizens. No Ewoks, though. They aren't covered by the insurance plan. If you are one of those hyper-sensitive types who needs to know exactly where a building is located before you decide to drive there, it can be found at 8000 Cherry Lane, Laurel MD 20727. So Mapquest it and quit whining, you pansy.
So what exactly do you get for eight or ten dollars, you wonder? Oh, my stars! Well, it's a show that is two parts Shakespeare and one and three-eights Monty Python. It clocks in at just about two hours, which is highly valuable when it comes to Willie the Shakes. You'll marvel at the breast-fondling, French-stereotyping, lion-wearing, thumb-sucking whimsy packed into this little dynamo! If that's not enough to convince you that an evening with the Rudes is a better use of your money than the latest Ben Stiller Wankathon, I have five - er, no, three! - words for you...
JOHN.
CURTIS.
HEFNER.
Damn skippy, hippie! You loved him in "Vigil"! You recoiled in horror for "Blue Surge"! You wondered what the deal was with all the red coloring in "The Crucible"! But Hugh's favorite cousin is back with a vengeance and chewing every piece of scenery that doesn't contain asbestos! Can the consummate "larger than life" actor make you forget the meaning of the word subtlety? There's only one way to find out! Come on out and watch him bring the energy, the noise, and possibly the funk to the titular role of KING JOHN! Do it, or I will hunt you down and cut you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I'm back. Whew. What just happened? All I know is that I logged into Live Journal, and then blacked out. Why are you crying?

I love this man who made me get naked for a play and won honors for the thesis. Honors for my penis. Val is right, that really should go on my resume.
