A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.

A) Be a nightmare for stage manager trying to sync the transitions

B) Tech and effects would be crying pissing themselves trying to run two shows at once.

C) Adaptation. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is about 2:30 hours and Hamlet in full is 4 hours but is usually abridged down to about 3. There are also lengthening and shortenings of scenes in Hamlet in R&G. Off-stage scenes need to be synced with on stage appearances.

I’m also legally unsure of how this would work??? To get this produced you’d probably have to prioritize Stoppard text at the expense of Shakespeare

We didn't just do it on opposite sides of a stage; it was in various rooms of a building that represented the castle of Elsinore (it was a church, but architecturally was a little castle-like) and the audience could walk freely from room to room to see what different characters were up to at the same time: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern fretting in one space, Hamlet monologuing in another, maybe Claudius and Getrude plotting somewhere else, etc. We cut most of the third act of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead because it doesn't take place in or near Elsinore.

I played Guildenstern. It was great fun. I learned how to fake-flip a coin so it would always come up Heads, just in case an audience member decided to get close enough to see them. (They didn't.)

AITA for refusing to cancel our family's Thanksgiving tradition?

So, we do a regular, totally traditional Thanksgiving--the family gets together, we have all the traditional Thanksgiving foods at dinner, we watch football, and of course we do the Thanksgiving Mole Hunt.

So, my daughter (27F) lost her husband about five years ago. She was understandably really upset by this, and moved away for a while and met a lovely young man (30M) who she's getting married to next year. We're all happy for her and excited to meet this new family member. But when I emailed her inviting her and her fiancé to Thanksgiving, of course I said, "don't forget to pack your gloves and your mole hammer!" and her reaction was, well. She asked if maybe we could not do the mole hunt this year. Because her fiancé wasn't used to it.

But, I mean, the mole hunt is really important to my family! And to my husband's family and honestly lots of people around here are really into it. I told her no, we're doing the mole hunt, and now she's saying she's not coming to Thanksgiving. I don't understand it.

EDIT: Look, all you people in the comments saying "just draw pictures of moles, that's what my family does" are you kidding? You're going to appease the gods of the Underworld with a picture of a mole? And if you don't dig up moles, where do you get the worms for the worm roast? And don't tell me "buy them at the bait store" because bait store worms on your pumpkin pie is just, ew.

ANOTHER EDIT: So, I didn't put this in the post originally because I didn't want it to be too long, but people are asking if there's any reason my daughter is particularly adamant about not doing the mole hunt. The thing is, her first husband drew the short straw after pie one year and nobody thought it was any big deal but it turned out he didn't have a mole. He said he "wasn't feeling it" and so he just stood around drinking beer while we all dug up our moles. My daughter offered to give him her mole but I mean, when you're appeasing the gods of the Underworld you don't want to mess around. I do a traditional Thanksgiving, that's all there is to it. Really, it's not asking much for people to just dig up a mole to sacrifice in their stead in case they get the short straw! But my daughter was really upset, and I have to admit I wanted to say Oh come on who hasn't lost a spouse in the Thanksgiving mole hunt, but I realized that wouldn't be helpful.

AND ANOTHER EDIT: Look, I don't appreciate being called a "fucking bloodthirsty loon." I don't know how you all do Thanksgiving but these are important traditions to my family! And yes, I did lose my first two husbands on Thanksgiving but if they couldn't get up and stun a damn mole on Thanksgiving that's not my fault, is it?

The age of eligibility for an ABLE account, allowing USAmerican disabled people to save up money without losing their government assistance for having “too much,” is going to go up to cover disabilities diagnosed by age 46 (currently it’s age 26), meaning a much larger number of people will be able to access them. As the article notes, many Americans don’t know these accounts exist, let alone whether they or someone they care for could qualify for one, so please share this information around.

I slowly rotate. The dog, anticipating forward motion, walks around to block me. I step backwards through the door and the dog is left standing, shocked at my escape. They (dog owners) had apparently never thought of that.
