NOT A DOCTOR WHO POST

I'm saving any and all Doctor Who rants until after the series finale (and believe me there are a hell of a lot of rants).

I don't particularly have a lot to say. I'm quite worried about 'King Lear'. We are going to have to do this very quickly, and I don't know if they are going to grow up and act like normal mature people, plus I've only kind of directed parts of it, instead of methodically working through it, so there are sections of the script with no notes on it, and they are just going to end up stood onstage looking like idiots. :( And I really don't know what time era to put it in for costume and stuff. Period suits the script better than modern, but modern could work really well with use of music; and modern could be really specific cultural reference modern, or non specific 'throw on a suit' modern, neither of which truly appeal to me. There's always the old fall back of just having blacks and being totally non specific of era, like 'Waiting for Goddot'. Plus I'm not sure if people will learn their lines in time, lord knows they didn't for 'Midsummer', but then again this one is only half an hour long, so there really isn't that much for them to learn. But then we are going to have to work through this (not completely blocked) script really intensely because of the time constriction, we're on at the end of October.

And, yay!, JulNoWriMo starts tomorrow. It's 85,000 words in the month, the last week of which I'm on holiday, so that should be interesting (again). I'm totally screwed! I have no characters and no plot, I am just going to type and not stop in the hope that I will form some strange form of story. It can't be worse than last year can it?
