NaJoPoMo 2013 Pebblederook
Created | Updated Nov 30, 2013
Intro:
I watch a lot of dvd’s and video’s especially ElizaJacobean drama. So for the next thirty days I thought I might watch one item a day and record any thoughts, criticisms, related ideas and general chatter that may result.
I will include some well known and some lesser known Shakespeare plays; plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries; biographies, some scholarly, some semi fictional, and a few totally fictional; and some popular adaptations. Five of the productions I have saved up especially for this month and so will be watching for the first time.
The intention is not to describe the plots of the plays or engage in in-depth critical reviews (which I am not any good at) though I might describe what I have watched, briefly explaining the plot where necessary, so that there is a context for what follows.
Or then again I might not.
Anyone interested in following up the plays can find excellent introductory material on Wikipedia for all the works, and various views on film and television productions at www.imdb.com
I should have no problem waffling on a daily basis as I am retired, living alone, and spend most of my time watching and reading about Shakespeare and related subjects, like Dr Who and Arsenal football club. My biggest problem will be actually finding everyone else's journals and making mine visible. Normally I work in Pliny (I don't know what that means, I just know I do it) but having discovered that other people's links are invisible, I have switched to Brunel for this month. I don't know if this makes any difference.
This is the link page for my entries in the above challenge (ignoring for the moment that the links don't work in Pliny so you will have to look out for them in the conversation list below). A challenge more for the reader than the writer! I will create each day's journal as a conversation. All insults will be received with a grace commensurate with their elegance.
