Knowing the company in question, I'll probably get told who I'm playing about a month before the first night.

Caliban may be a possibility, but my money is probably on Stephano.
Although, if I get Caliban, playing him as Lisko, now there's an intriguing thought...

Make sure you get the snarl right. The snarl is essential if you're going to play him all Liskoesque.

Liskoesque = new favourite word.

Definitely one for the dictionary. If it's not there yet then scribble it in the margins in crayon. That's what I usually do.

Vikingess · April 25th, 2008, 06:26 PM

Crayon? My my, aren't we getting all technologically advanced?

Give it a few years and you might be able to manage a quill!

Thraxas · April 25th, 2008, 06:29 PM

But a crayon is all the nurses will let me have!

Vikingess · April 25th, 2008, 06:48 PM

Tsk. Pesky nurses.

No way out of that m'afraid. Nurses are the ultimate power on this earth, and I should know. My mother's one of them.

Yeah...that air of determined efficiency combined with expert cynicism you may have noticed? Comes free with every nurse.

Thraxas · April 25th, 2008, 07:05 PM

Well sometimes if I'm very very nice they'll take the straitjacket off for a few minutes.

Vikingess · April 25th, 2008, 07:13 PM

Yeah, that's their idea of a reward for good behaviour.

The danger comes when they get drunk though. Next time you see my dad, ask him about the times he went out with the nurses my mum worked with...

Thraxas · April 25th, 2008, 07:25 PM

Drunk in charge of medical know-how? Sounds nothing short of lethal to me!

Vikingess · April 25th, 2008, 07:36 PM

Oh it was. Apparently they laid waste to a rather large Greek restaurant in Birmingham, whose name shall go unmentioned to protect the innocent.

Thraxas · April 25th, 2008, 07:45 PM

Just a restaurant? I imagine whole streets could be wiped out!
