great new resource: Daily Play blog

I just happened onto this blog, Daily Plays . The author, Kristin Palmer, apparently reads a play a day and does a write-up explaining the premise, the main characters, and what the play is like. She writes simply and thoughtfully. I am looking forward to discovering some new plays and writers to work on in the class, and all you actors out there looking for monologues...well, you know what to do.

what the Elizabethans ate at the theater

Sounds good to me:

The preferred snacks for Tudor theatre-goers appear to have been oysters, crabs, cockles, mussels, periwinkles and whelks, as well as walnuts, hazelnuts, raisins, plums, cherries, dried figs and peaches.

Some clues even suggest that 16th-century fans of William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe also ploughed through vast quantities of elderberry and blackberry pie – and some may even have snacked on sturgeon steaks.


Mmmmmmm. OmNomNom.

Talk about the decline of Western civilization.
