Jun. 20th, 2007 10:14 pmI'm in an odd mood. Kinda up, kinda depressed.
It's looking like it will be impossible to extend Ian W. Hill's Hamlet at all (actor schedules), so these 4 performances may be it until sometime far off in the distant future. At least 2008, maybe more if I want to bring back the Equity actors, as I think I have to wait 18 months before I can use them again in this under a Showcase code again. Damn. The most expensive show I've ever done, some of the most stress and hard work, and that's it. Four shows. Damn. Maybe I can work it out. But almost certainly not. Damn.
August is shaping up, though. It looks to indeed be parts 1-4 of the NECROPOLIS series and Marc Spitz's The Hobo Got Too High. I got some nice emails from Marc today about doing his play, which were very encouraging and full of praise for my original production in 2000, so I feel good about that. That's good.
But I still need to recast a whole fistful of people from World Gone Wrong - not so much a problem, but some people who were both originally in that and in one or more of the other shows going up have said they only have time to do one of the shows, and so I'll have to recast even more of the other shows than anticipated. So it goes, but it gets me down a bit.
So, to cheer up, more movie watching tonight. I got through the Nic Roeg films yesterday as planned, but didn't get to the Godard films. Maybe I will a bit later. I needed something else first, something that will always put me in a good mood.
So I've put on one of my favorite guilty pleasure films, Patrick Swayze in Road House.
However, to attempt to make it less of a "guilty" pleasure, and as I'm replacing the planned Godard films, I am watching it with the French dub track turned on and English subtitles. Wow, it's an Art Film!
Maybe after this, I'll move on to Contempt, but for now, I'm enjoying the antics of Swayze, Ben Gazzara, and Sam Elliott en francais.
