Update #3 · Nov 26, 2012 · comment

Greetings, Culture Vultures,
I hope this update finds everyone well and enjoying the holiday spirit. Today's update is a preview of some of the characters that will be performing the immortal words of the Bard. Courtesy of my sketchbook.

 I've included some bios so that you can see how I've put some thought to matching up these characters to their Shakesperian counterparts. I know it's a bit obsessive to cast the appropriate super-person to the appropriated cast member. Especially since none of the super-folks' personality will come through. But I just thought it would be more fun this way.

So feel free to scroll down and meet the visual cast of Much Ado About Nothing:

    A $50 donation entitles the donor to request a video of their favorite Shakespeare soliloquy performed by me. And as a tip of the hat to Renaissance tradition, if you pick a piece by a female character I will perform it in drag. Just like it was done in Shakespeare's day. Plus all previous rewards.
