Hence, Sky, Hence!

So the cast has finished the reading for The Scottish Play!

Some ups and downs, but it was very enjoyable and exciting, at the very least!

Firstly, I finally got to do my favorite scene in the entire play: the banquet and Banquo's ghost. Suffice it to say, I may have went a little overboard with the "HENCE HORRIBLE SHADOW, UNREAL MOCKERY, HENCE" shenanigans, but I felt that it suited the event! Heck, it was even met with some gigglesI actually thought I was having Mel Gibson moment, the only difference being that the woman that I was screaming at wasn't recording it. If that were the case, that would be highly unfortunate for me.

I noticed that I go into a semi-fetal position when I'm in the zone whilst I act. While I was roaring Shakespearean terms at the ghost of Banquo, I continued to hunch over until my knees had practically fused with my diaphragm. If the scene went on longer, I'm sure I would have metamorphosized into an actual fetus. No, seriously, I would have shed most of my 17 years of life and turned into a fetus.

I finally got to do that scene with Sky (Elmo) that I was really looking forward to! My happiness with the situation can be expressed as thus:

The scene in question is an exchange between Macbeth and a messenger, who has come to inform him that a very unnatural event is occurring. Macbeth becomes very angry and distraught, and some of this is pushed towards the messenger.

Now, for many of you who are not familiar with him, Sky is probably one of the sweetest kids ever. Ever. Tons of people thought I was a crazy paedophile when I would pretty much praise the fella, but now, they've fallen for his bewitchment as well! Honestly, I would not be surprised if Sky was actually some kind of uber-powerful sorcerer. Anyways, his voice is the big reason for all of this! It's very unique, to say the least. It's high (almost cartoonish), slow, and confident with a very peculiar accent that no one can put their finger on. He told me that he's French, Irish, Mohawk, and probably 4 other races, which explains the accent.

Anyways, our scene turned out to be very enjoyable! We absolutely contrasted each other, but I think it worked great! It's a good thing that I took the opportunity to get to know him a little bit, so at least there's some connection. We were walking down the hallway after, and he said (in the same, high voice) that he was spooked by some of the dialogue that we had! He is simply too awesome!

Oh, and the day before, there was a line in the play where "Beelzebub" is mentioned. Suddenly, he and Blueboy started to sing the corresponding part of "Bohemian Rhapsody". I was awestruck. His sheer awesomeness is unrivaled.

Blueboy even said that he almost burst with joy.

I also received some very positive and awesome comments from a certain person, which made me a very happy individual! So for that, thanks!

My excitement cannot be contained! In fact, I took to storing this 'excitement' in giant space stations, but some Imperials stole my station, called it a "Death Star", and used my 'excitement' to destroy planets. Not good. Not good.
