PBS might show some scenes from this production. Most of the scenes were from Ian McKellan's Lear, and a few more from a recent Globe production of Tate's version of Lear (with a happy ending). No glimpses of Edmund -- or GWD -- that I could tell. Brenda F. Bell webwarren@e.......

That actually sounds like a cool idea! (I might have said 'skirmish,' but 'flash mob' sound much ... flashier!) It really would get us back to the roots when attacks were mostly pranks played on friends, rather than mostly all-out blitzkriegs by factions on other factions. And it might give people who can't commit to a full two-weeks a chance to play. And, if we did one every few seasons it might allow people who can't make one to make the other. Plus, a weekend would most certainly be less work for Lisa and Don! Which has to be a consideration (because they said so, and also because they're the reason we're still allowed to play here). I can think of a few loose threads still hanging out there that folks could pick up, and at least one thing I'd like to get around to at some point. Plus, I don't doubt the creativity of the folks here to come up with some screaming fine new ideas for a little weekend flash mob!

First Colm Feore(Blood Money) in King Lear, then King John, and last but not least Anthony and Cleopatra starring Ger as Anthony. Look for it in local cinemas in April.
