Your incessant monologizing fills the castle with ennui

Hey, I've thought of a meme.

Sparked by the fact that I wouldn't actually want to be a Stoppard character—I'd die in a fire or I'd be A.E. Housman—who would you like to be a character in a play by? Why? Whose plays would you absolutely not want to find yourself in? (Nota bene: to be differentiated from the writers whose plays you feel like you're living in already. Given how most of my friendlist seems to be doing, that way lies Oh, yeah? I'll see your O'Neill and raise you Sarah Kane.) No fair just calling Shakespeare.

Otherwise I've stopped sleeping again, which makes the idea of more frequent posts seem even more remote and exhausting. I should still try.

In the meantime: talk to me about theater!

You could be one of the couples of sheer awesome à la Lady Sophy/King Paramount or Mad Margaret/Despard.

Awww! It's my secret ambition to one day be Mad Margaret/Despard with somebody. (Not sure whether I'd be Despard or Margaret, character-wise.)

I believe I will have a go at this meme myself, and I hope you'll join in.
