Happy Thespis Day!
Nov. 23rd, 2009 06:23 pmSo I was in class today, and we had two major projection fuck-ups, conveniently timed at the two most climactic emotional moments of the film (I Know Where I'm Going).
And then I realized why this was happening today:
Casey: Jeremy, November 23rd. Does that date ring a bell? And don't go to the computer.
Jeremy: Don't have to.
Casey: What is it?
Jeremy: It was on this day in 534 B.C. that Thespis stepped out onto the stage of the Theater Dionysis during a choral song and dance and became the first man to speak words as an actor in a play.
Casey: Tell me I was supposed to know that.
:D
