This is the poster I designed for Romeo and Juliet running at Playhouse on the Square March 20 to April 19, 2009. I’m also in the show, playing Tybalt. Come and see it!

Romeo and Juliet

Greetings. I’m writing from the men’s dressing room backstage at Playhouse on the Square, and I am dead. Not physically, or emotionally, but theatrically. Alas, as the Prince of Cats I manage, every Thursday to Sunday until April 19th, to massively redirect the lives of history’s most famous young lovers. Nasty piece of work me, and for that, I get to be dead for, what is in our production, all of Act 2.

I spend this time in a number of different ways. Today I read several pages of Slash’s “autobiography.” The first 51 pages have been monstrously boring. Slash’s ghost writer embellishing rather uninteresting stories of his childhood and his early-age epiphanies that turned him into the Slash that we all know. Boring. Get to the tours and whores. I don’t care that you rode a BMX and stole a lot of shit.

The second thing I attempted was to watch Toy Soldiers. I love this movie, but I don’t have time to watch all of it, so I stopped.

The third thing I did today was create this blog. And now I must put on my pants and go and bow a dead man’s bow.

Be seeing you,

Rory
