Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Dec. 9th, 2018 01:21 amSo it's no secret to everyone that knows me that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is my favorite play of all time. I cry about it. I quote lines to people. (Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?) I have a shit ton of feelings about the themes and the intertextuality. I could write 50 posts about why I love it so much. I did in fact write a fic about it - Exeunt.
But yeah, I went to see a community theatre production of it tonight. For all my love of the play, I hadn't actually been able to see it live. I've seen the Tom Stoppard movie (like, three times) and I saw a recording of an opening night of a stage production of it in London recently. So I was super pumped to see it live.
( Details below... )
All of this just makes me want to write another R&G fic... I need to work on my BNHA fic, but I... really really want to write a fic where Horatio becomes Aware of things like R and G, and has to navigate his role as the observer of this tragedy. Anyway, please tell me to write my longfic, no matter how many R and G feelings I have. And let me know about any R and G feelings you have in the comments!
