*Horatio has been trying to keep himself occupied since he and Hamlet had begun to grow distant--working odd jobs, programming, re-engineering his computer a bit for the fun of it. now, though, he finds himself wondering whether more social pleasures might be better ways to spend his time, and so he is knocking on the door of the tragedians' ... van* Excuse me? Excuse me, do you ... hold auditions?

That's okay. We rehearse and stuff here, though.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

That's fine, that's fine. *another pause* Did you want me to come over there now, or ...?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

How about after dinner, like eightish?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Okay. I can do eightish. Where will you be parked?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

'Round the corner from the curry house near the park.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Okay. *smile* I can find you there. See you ... eightish. *hangs up--and around eightish, he will be making his way to the van*

*and they'll have gotten rid of tonight's empty takeout (having sent someone to throw it out) and have a lot of scripts laid out around them*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*finds an approximately Horatio-sized empty spot and squeezes into it, sitting* What are you looking at?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

We're looking at a few - do you know The Eumenides or Andromaque?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

I know The Eumenides better ... but it's really hard to do that one without the whole Oresteia, isn't it?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

That's what I said.

We did the other two not too long ago...

It's too long ago.

I don't think we have the money to do all three at the same time.

There's only so much you can do with minimalism.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Or at least the middle one ... I mean, you could probably do it without the first.

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

Nah.

Forget it.

What about Andromaque?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

*tentatively* By Euripides?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

Racine.

We have a translation. *tosses it at him*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh, okay--that's why you were pronouncing it ... *anyway, picks it up and reads--typist only knows the Euripides*

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

*whereas this typist is using Wikipedia, lalala* You can look through the rest, too. *pushes some scripts over*

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Okay. ^_^ *brushes his hair back from his eyes, and reads--when he's gotten a few pages into one, he'll put it down and pick up another; after a moment* Edward II? It sounds ... gruesome enough, I guess?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. ^__^

Do we have a concept for that one? *nudges another one*

Er...not yet?

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Oh. You do concept performances. *not judgmental* Do you need one for every play?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

No.

No, just the last few we've done have been regular.

Not concept like concept.

Like, what costumes and sets and stuff.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. I didn't think you did that--what kinds of costumes and sets do you have?

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

*shrug* Standard period costumes.

Some suits.

Capes.

Blood.

Not a lot of sets.

[ay-my-lord.livejournal.com]

That's probably okay, there weren't a lot of sets in those kinds of plays ... right? *so rusty on all things theatrical* But you know better than I do what you have and what will work. And what you can afford to get blood on.

[tragedians.livejournal.com]

Yup.

So, any ideas?

You're new, you probably have something we haven't thought of.
