Oh yes, and I get to be Queen Elizabeth I.

:D

I'd love to join in, but will be cruising through the Panama just about that time period you mentioned. If this works though I'll be there for the next one!

Brad and I could do "The Women" sometime... and act out all the parts. ;)

As DP will be cruising both those weekends I am looking for things to do.

I love reading so I am up for anything. How about something American like 12 angry men if we have enough people, or Our Town. I realize that we don't have that many men but just talk with a low voice and you will be fine ;)

If not Shakespeare is always good maybe a history that most people haven't seen like Richard the III or Henry the IV

Oedipus Rex is always good for a few laughs.

Seriously, I had the most amazing AP English teacher, and because of her I still love Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, and A Clockwork Orange.

I love to read aloud. It looks like there are plenty of readers though. Bummer that DP will be cruising, because it would be great to have it recorded for posterity.

I'm in, but with all these readers I think we might have to do a Tragedy just for the chorus. Maybe we need to add events for poetry readings or some such thing where everyone brings a scene or piece they'd like to do. Or heck seems like we should form a theater company and do a festival.

Oh, with this much interest I'm sure we'll do it more than once! Plus, there are plenty of plays with plenty of parts. Or we could split the larger parts. Which - whoa! I just realized, we could, at some point, read my unusual cubist Hamlet adaptation (which isn't my own words, mind you, but... well, you'll see later.)

Or short plays. We love all kinds of shorts here - in fact, one I have in mind that I think all of you would LOVE is a collection of short humorous plays by David Ives. Then there surely would be enough parts for everyone. (Ooh, i can't wait to do that one. Ooh, I can't wait to do all of them!)

And you bet your bottom we'll be sure to do one to include the cruisers, too. I'm just getting excited, is all.

How about a musical? (says the guy who can't sing)

I'd have to skype, and you'd have to pick a play with an Aussie in it, or suffer through my terrible valley girl accent. (My british is OK)
