Random Thought

[lareinenoire]

rosamund and I are writing a scene centred on a production of Romeo and Juliet. This led me to ponder.

I've often said that I won't direct. I'm frankly terrified of the thought. But if I had to direct anything, R&J would be it. I know the play backwards and forwards, I have very specific ideas regarding characterisation that I *never* get to see...and I keep complaining about every version I've seen so far.

It's worth considering, I suppose.

Though I think I'll wait to hear Kai's account of Macbeth before I consider any forays into the terrifying world of directorship.

Plus, I can't imagine a more perfect Mercutio than the one I'm writing. ;) Right, rosamund? Nor a more perfect Romeo and Juliet. I daresay that's what comes from writing the entire thing yourself.
