♕ |[46]| The poems made on their chivalric bones

[Slipped between the pages of Todd's current poetry notebook]

I almost wonder if it's too soon, after everything last month... if that's even over, I know they never found... well. Maybe we should just be grateful for the time we have, after all, this is what passes for a quiet month so far.

Who knows how long that will last.

With everything that went on last month I'm afraid I've gotten rather behind on trying to recruit for our next play... But I suppose there's no time like the present to pick up where we left off. For anyone who hadn't heard about it, or who wasn't here last time I spoke about it-- We'll be putting on a production of Oscar Wilde's

The Importance of Being Earnest.

Right now, we haven't quite sorted out the roles but we have Rosella, Cain, and myself; and I believe Justin was going to help out as crew. But! As you can see, that means we're still in need of more, both on stage and backstage. Anyone's welcome who'd like to take part-- whether you've ever been in a play or not, we're happy to have you, so just... let me know!

I would really love to be involved. I'd like to have a role but if not I think I could be helpful as crew. It could be that the type of theater I'm used to is very different than this, but I suspect not, and I was practically raised in a theater.

Really? Well, if you've got experience that would be really great, and so far I don't think there's too much competition for roles! If you've never read the play I'd be happy to loan you a copy of it.

Not a great deal of experience actually doing anything other than helping put on little drawing-room productions with friends. I did, however, spend plenty of time observing, asking lots of annoying questions, and generally being underfoot. My mother was an actress.

It would be great if you could lend me your copy--I've definitely never read it. I'm Alester Siddons, by the way.

[ooc: Alester is going to love Wilde.]

It's nice to meet you, Alester. I'm Neil Perry.

We put on A Midsummer Night's Dream last year, and though most of our cast were newcomers, they worked really hard and it was fantastic. But having people with any experience at all, really, is quite exciting.

There's a small bookshop near the Square-- Bilton and Scaggs, if you drop by sometime I'll lend you a copy. I work there.

It sounds like this is going to be fun.

I'll do that. Actually, you wouldn't happen to know if the bookshop is hiring? I've never worked in a shop but I really need to find something, as long as it's part time, and I do like books.

[had_not_lived]

I certainly hope so!

Well... Let me talk to Billy, we could probably take someone on for a couple'f hours during the week.

It would be very kind of you to at least find out for me.

[had_not_lived]

I'll try to talk to Billy and let you know when you come by to borrow the play.
