Speaking of Shakespeare

Auditioning for Kiss Me Kate tomorrow. I feel like this director prefers to use me as stage decoration (as another director so aptly put it), so the most I'm actually hoping for is Hattie, though I'd really love to play Lilli. I'm hoping that my having played Juliet in my youth will stand me in good stead, and I've been reading Shrew aloud to practice the language. But I'm not holding my breath.

It's perhaps a little strange how the Bard infiltrates. My bestie and I got tattoos today. I knew I only had funds for a basic quote, and I had it narrowed down to "There are never enough 'I love you's," (Lenny Bruce) and "Not all victories are about saving the universe," (The Doctor). But on the way there, I changed my mind and ended up with "Like madness is the glory of this life," (Shakespeare). He ended up with a Stanislavski quote: "Love art in yourself, and not yourself in art."

Yes, we are theatre nerds. How did you know?
