:wave: howdy every1 !

4 every1 doing tempest:

there's sum ppl that r going 2 perform 'the tempest' play at parramatta riverside theatre. ..um it says lennox theatre or sumthing though...

go to http://www.riversideparramatta.com.au/whatson/whatson.asp to find out exactly about this. they have this little bit of info on it.

i reckon it will be really good, seeing the play cum 2 life. it'll probably cause ppl 2 like the text more and 'appreciate' it (which is what my teachers hav been trying 2 do and which i havent exactly truly done).

i dunno if its going 2 be good or not but worth going, i think. teachers at my skool recommended it. :uhhuh:

yeah, that's all... :D

damn globe shakespeare..
i thought it finished at riverside and its in bondi or something now.. but yeh most ppl were forced to go to it with their grade already

when did you go? cuz we're going in a couple of weeks and im guessing it'll be colder then.
and we also get to see "Away" at the Wharf Theatre on the same week! I wonder if that'll be good?

i saw it too about three weeks ago. i must say the tempest is one of shakespeare's worst plays. i bought the program just out of curiuosity. some of the actors couldnt act for peanuts.

i though Caliban was sexy ;) hahaha lol, it wasnt all that bad... Prospero was a monotoned dickhead though... and yuh it was ok i reckon... good to get out of the house and spend some time with mates

i liked it though!!!!!! caliban's and ariel's acting were the only good ones.
prospero - sucked totally, i expected more life and power to just spring out in his speech
miranda - a lost case and nut
ferdinand - lets just say that he was...gay?
i thought the way caliban guy could stand in his posture he was in for so long. (the rude bits werent good coz they were rude)
it was good only with ariel and caliban. everything else seemed to be on the downs...
