Shakespeare in the Cemetery - HAMLET - Fri & Sun, 6/22-7/29

Not Afraid · 06-21-2007, 08:38 PM

This is something we should probably make plans to see.

In keeping with Hollywood Forever's mission to serve as a cultural center for the city of Los Angeles and in recognition of the lack of quality outdoor community events, Shakespeare In The Cemetery was born. Our guests are invited to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy, a blanket to sit on and friends with which to share an inspiring evening. Picnic as the sun goes down and prepare to be entranced by a magical performance of a play by the western worlds greatest writer.

$20 at the gate or you can purchase in advance.

Gates Open at 7:00PM
Play Starts at 8:30PM

I'm up for a Sunday.

We're up for any Sunday but the 14th.

That sounds totally cool!

Will they be getting a permanent resident to play the ghost?

Or is there possibly an open grave for the Yorick scene?

Euro, Boss Radio and I were in a production of Hamlet in high school. Euro played the ghost. Boss Radio played The Gravedigger--two roles combined, which meant he talked to himself. Very funny.

As for me, well, let's just say I still remember most of Hamlet's speeches.

Which means I played Claudius.

F****** R******.

This makes me think of Medieval Times. The first time I ever visited, they served you cornish game hens that "you had to eat with your fingers because silverware wasn't of the time" (Not my words before anyone should jump. Please take it up with Medieval Times.)

They didn't think to question the Pepsi chillin' inside my goblet that they had served all of us. I guess I wasn't made aware that Pepsi was quite the royal treat back in those days. Or the cardboard crown that I wore on my head. Even better, the pina coladas & margaritas that we knocked back the last time I visited umpteen years ago. Golly, all I wanted was a fork. And a spoon. And a knife. And a bean & cheese burrito.

Gack..oily foul stained digits. Double gack!

Still, we had lots of fun!

Edited to add: I think the last time that I visited I was able to score a fork. Whoohoo!

Eating utensils were semi-commonly available in the Medieval era, but it was typically just for those with at least *some* money. Considering they "treat you like royalty", I would think they should be consistent and offer eating utensils.
