Her Infinite Variety
Mon, 22 June 2009, 05:56 pmHi,
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
come and see Her Infinite Variety, please :)
The show is the result of three and half years of research, it's an exploration of the impact and influence the Actress had on the performance of Shakespeare during the Restoration.
But don't take this to mean it's going to be intellectual (after all, it's me we're talking about here). We've got Wade Ellis in a dress, Murray Jackson and Martin Lindsay playing Demetrius (see if you can tell them apart!), Shakespeare throwing a hissy fit, Juliet meeting her Restoration counterpart and a Bard off, the likes of which the world has never seen.
Performances will be on July 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th at 8pm at the Nexus Theatre, Murdoch University, South Street, Murdoch. Tickets are $15 adults and $12 concession, bookings can be made at herinfinitevariety@hotmail.com or on 0403 293 969
Book to see it, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please . . . and so on

Other People's thoughts about Shakespeare .....
Tue, 23 June 2009, 08:19 pmThe rumour around town is that Her Infinite Variety is very good and was originally going to be called Variety Infinite Her .....? You will only find out if you attend.
But for those of you who can't wait until the 01st July - here are some other people's thoughts on Shakespeare:
Quotes about William Shakespeare by Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
"Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations."
"Are the commentators on "Hamlet" really mad, or only pretending to be?"
The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good.
Robert Graves Quote (1895 - 1985)
When I read Shakespeare I am struck with wonder
That such trivial people should muse and thunder
In such lovely language.
D. H. Lawrence Quote (1885 - 1930)
Shakespeare - The nearest thing in incarnation to the eye of God.
Laurence Olivier Quote (1907 - 1989)
One blonde to another...
Have you ever read Shakespeare?No. Who wrote it?
Why did Shakespeare marry Anne Hathaway?
She was the only woman who had a way with him---groan!!
William Shakespeare walks into a pub and the barman says, "Oi, Get out of here, You're Bard!"
Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
"I'll do a sketch of thee.
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B, or not 2B?"
Yeah...geek me knows it by heart!
What's the difference between William Shakespeare and Walt Disney.
Shakespeare writes and Walt Disney.
Try it in a Scottish accent.
Wishing you stars and tears Melissa
