First, we need a director.
Then, actors.
A way to rehearse, remotely?!
And a slot at next years' Netroots Nation or another venue.
Can it be done?
I've got the script.
I wrote a political parody called BuShakespeare. Yes, it's a script based on our former president and the erra of his reign. And, it's for a fancy-pants elitst audience - as it is written, sorta, as if Shakespeare had been around. It's got --
Monarchy, Lords, Fantastic African Yellow Ore, Swordfights, War in Iraq, assassins, twin daughters, pundits, the ambassador, the spy, they're all there. And such characters - faithful secondary Arnold, the Vice Chancellor, Captain Morganfled, the Secretary, Lord Mayor Rudolph, Lord Barack, Lord Kerry and all the pundits a Crown and his Commmonwealth could love!
Take this scene, where George the Elder offers homage to the witches brew:
GEORGE I
All gathered -- perceive mine lips:
Like Adam in the garden
I answered Heaven’s task
To christen its name
The ages to outlast
When first I beheld the wicked brew,
I saw Satan, and proclaimed, "Voo-doo,"
Raising to boil, over the crown,
For the venomous nectar
To trickle down.
Or this scene where his majesty explaines that he no longer imbibes:
GEORGE II
Whence mine lips reached two score my wife rebelled
From thence have I repelled intoxicants
Favoring spiritless adult tonic
And holy name of our Lord
In its stead.
And then says Grace over a fine palace meal.
GEORGE II (bows head:)
And now grace:
As your chosen king to rule among men
Grant these hands means, purpose and sovereignty
To do mighty and rightly in your name.
Amen.
My lady, what feast
Hath the castle cook produced?
Pray, not decorative nor highly fashioned.
Detest I of frills of the platter,
Above all of the frou-frous French.
Prefer your ruler of unadorned fare
Customary of the environs
Of my Southern retreat,
I am, partial to bologna.
Or this scene, where Lady Hillary denies to a favorite pundit her interest in ascending the throne:
TIMOTHY
Carry on not; your guffaw reveals you!
Believe this pundit and his audience
Have you not a superior reply?
HILLARY
My, my! ‘Tis you who goeth on and on!
Hark my word with care, closeness and delight.
I seek not now the throne.
And how shall such tale go on? From the Snow White Palace to the muddy quagmire of New Orleans after the tempest Katrina....? And what shall become of the Century Bridge, built by former sovereign William of West Chester?
Hey can we pull it off? I've got a funny script here, waiting for an audience. All we need it YOU to help pull it off.
