Here's the idea:


  • It will be filmed in black and white.
  • I will voice all of the parts using a obviously synthetic voice changer
  • I will draw the different characters on different parts of my body, if it calls for a scenery shot, it will be drawn on my back.


Sounds neat.

I bet you could pull it off with CGI, too, so you wouldn't have to draw on yourself.  Cos that usually tickles.

Please please please do Shakespeare other than Hamlet.  Hamlet has been played into the ground worse than gangster films.

Or Coriolanus (http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/coriolanus/).

No particular reason.

That's one of my least favorite plays by him.  I have no sympathy for any of the characters & it makes it hard to give a shit where any of the plot is going.

If you do that, i'm doing a production of "Barrymore", where John Barrymore is played by my wang with a cigarette stuck in it.

I was thinking of recruiting Shroom to do the same thing, but with New Jack City.

I took two semesters of Shakespeare in college and Titus Andronicus was my favorite play.

Anthony Hopkins did a movie version. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120866/

You took two semesters?  I read one Shakespeare play in a lit 201 class and I had had enough.

I was an English major, and I had to take two semesters of pre-1600 literature. I would rather read Shakespeare than Beowulf.

I saw that in the theater.  It was the first time I was subjected to that particular tale.

Needless to say, I was a bit surprised at the content.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Othello.

Shakespeare- I'm a romantic- I love Romeo and Juliet, I love Hamlet, I really REALLY like Taming of the Shrew.  I haven't read Othello in a long time, and I didn't quite get it back in the day, so perhaps I'll give it another shot.
