The story ...<i>Shakespeare and Fletcher in Transition</i><br /><br />The story of an old man with an enormous legacy passing the torch to his younger protege. I'd love to see Shakespeare's reaction to holding Henry VIII up against Richard II, or Shakespeare playing Beaumont and Fletcher off one another as they worked on <i>Philaster</i> and <i>The Maid's Tragedy</i>, or a montage of Shakespeare working Fletcher to the bone like Yoda or Burgess Meredith.<br /><br />"I can't do it! I can't write like you!"<br /><br />"You're right, Fletcher, you can't write like me. But you can write like <i>you</i>!"<br /><br />Cue the camera zooming in on their faces while dramatic music slams us over the head with the fact that the director wants us to <i>feel</i>...Colinhttp://www.twitter.com/westposhakesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581099872724683650.post-44999220703353197622012-01-30T19:39:48.191-06:002012-01-30T19:39:48.191-06:00Oh, I guess I need a title, huh?

It would focus on Judith and William's relationship post-Hamnet, and Joseph Fiennes would HAVE to be in it. And I'm dead serious, I want to see that. I'm a sucker for the father-daughter plays.CGriffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043351878523522130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581099872724683650.post-32180348829876730202012-01-30T08:15:44.415-06:002012-01-30T08:15:44.415-06:00Okay, I now really want to see Queen Elizabeth I i...Okay, I now really want to see <i>Queen Elizabeth I in a Mild Snit</i>.<br /><br />My entry would be <i>Hamlet with Chutzpah</i>. It would be a pomo retelling of the Hamlet story lasting approximately 12 minutes.

For the first, Shakespeare in Autumn ; for the second, Shakespeare in Stratford.<br />Or one on Anne Hathaway. Anne in Love, perhaps? Or Anne in Stratford!<br /><br />Now if only Tom Stoppard would consider that haha!Christina Shttp://www.twitter.com/minisquiggsnoreply@blogger.com
