Who, aside from our very talented and passionate Shakespearean actor, "Desmond Wolf," has an interest in theatre? I was thinking of directing a play. I can't help but notice that the stage in the dining hall is dreadfully underused.

The play I had in mind is called "The Pillowman." It's a small cast but a fairly decent play from the early 21st

I'll audition.

[triggered_it]

I may have a part for you, depending on your performance, of course.

[no_nanomites]

Of course.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

I do. Let me know if you need anything from me, Adrian. Later this week I'd like to talk to you about the book as well.

Private.

[triggered_it]

I'm glad.

Anytime, Martha. I would also still like to see those movies you mentioned: the one about Alexander and the one with David.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Of course. You can swing by and pick them up whenever you like.

[lol he's just gonna ignore that he was a bitch to the new person because he does that all the time~]

Never did theatre, but I'm somethin' of a performer. Might be fun to try my hand.

[Adrian's a total bitch to Withnail. :X]

I look forward to seeing you audition, then. In the meanwhile, I'll have to make sure there are enough copies of the play in the library.

Not much of an actor, brotha, but I did some work for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Set-building, mostly. If you need a hand there, I'd be glad to lend it.

[triggered_it]

We can always use a hand, but I don't believe we've met.

Adrian Veidt. It's a pleasure.

[thatsaflaregun]

Desmond Hume. Pleasure to meet you as well, brotha. I think it's a wonderful idea what you're putting on. Might take the edge off this place, yeah?

[triggered_it]

That was exactly my intention. I may not be putting on the most cheerful play, but I think good art both articulates profundity and brings forth a form of pleasure.

I myself do not act, however I daresay I have seen enough theater that I should be of some use. The play sounds interesting. Have you a copy I could borrow? I would be able to have it read within a day and return it afterward.

Additionally, I have some skill with the piano. If the play requires musical accompaniment, I should be able to serve you in that arena, as well as in others.

[His tone is all very even and casual, and he is talking about the play... but being Dorian, there is a double entendre at the end there whether he admits to it or not.]

Private.

While I don't doubt your musical talent, I was thinking I'd like you in other arenas. [Perfectly casual, and he is talking about the play, but two can play double entendre games.] How would you like to be assistant director? You do have an exquisite sense of aesthetics, and I think you'd be very useful.

I do have a copy of the play for you. You'll probably find the language crude, but the subject matter perverse enough to interest you.

Re: Private.

[devils_bargain]

[Dorian is flattered. However, he is aware that what Adrian has said of him is true, so the pleasure he finds in this flattery is all quite vain.] Why, thank you Adrian.

I think I should not mind the language; there are two places where coarse language are perfectly at home, and those are in the arts and the bedroom.

Private.

You're quite welcome.

You'll have to let me know what you think of the play.

Don't tell anyone, but I've already made up my mind in regards to some of the casting. The Marquis is getting the lead. The drunken hack can play the mentally retarded brother. [He clearly doesn't think much of the "drunken hack." His voice just drips with displeasure at even mentioning him.]

I'm still looking for the two police officers, however. Both are aggressive and overbearing, one a little bit more than the other. The latter requires slightly more talent, and I believe you'll see why I would think that.

Hopefully, the Barge will surprise me. [Meaning, he has doubts about the acting talent of most of the people here. lulz.]
