Let us know when you've got information on when/where/etc, and we'll cheerfully promote you here & on Twitter.<br /><br />Also, I love the idea of a steampunk Tempest. Might be a way to actually make the masque interesting! ;)Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835635673777468306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702412755735548041.post-37093109160358117792010-11-12T15:52:15.156-05:002010-11-12T15:52:15.156-05:00Yay! Steampunk Shakespeare! I don't know why T...Yay! Steampunk Shakespeare! I don't know why Twelfth Night gets all the gadgetry and gears, but there are other plays that would be fun in this setting. I'm currently directing a Victorian-era Macbeth with a great deal of Steampunk influence: a clock motif, costume nods to Jack the Ripper and Frankenstein, sword-cane duel between Macbeth and Macduff, etc. I'm very pleased with it.<br /><br />Brainstorming other possibilities for Steampunking Shakespeare, I decided the Tempest and Pericles are great candidates. The Tempest because, with a big enough production budget, Prospero could be a magitech-using inventor and Ariel a sentient spirit of steam. Ooh, and maybe a partially-clockwork cyborg Caliban? Pericles because the many settings could be different Steampunk locales (Pentapolis: jolly Dickensian London with knights in steam-powered armor, Ephesus: Far Eastern mystical temple, Mytilene: urban hive of scum and villainy) but mostly because of AIRSHIP PIRATES!Alexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051767198534522343noreply@blogger.com
