My dear ones, I propose a break from all this talk of violence and regulation and riots. Surely discussion must go on, but I prefer to turn my attention toward more enriching exploits. In my spare time I have been reading a number of books in the library, some containing plays and others in the progression of dramatic technique since my passing. I am most intrigued and now have it in my head to put that stage in the dining hall to proper use -- with permission from the Wardens, of course.

I, of course, will direct, and look to my fair neighbors here to find a suitable cast and crew.

But what play to choose? Something with a little grit and guts, I think. Well-versed though I am in the older traditions, it is nice to see that theatre takes more chances in later times. It will be unusual to see a production that is not comprised of rhyming couplets.

I would like to experiment with some more modern writings.

Spamalot is modern. I can play some of the songs off my iPod for you if you like?

No musicals, cheri. I'd prefer to start with something simple.

Oh, okay, sorry!

the Last Exhibition or the Glass Menagerie?

I shall see if the library has them.
