This Land

21 January, 2008

Dear Larry,

I was very happy to hear from you after the accident. I'm very sorry about what happened to your relatives and neighbors. Everything is just fine here in This Land. Last week the Candy Kingdom's banana guards came over to Slinky to borrow some root beer and cucumber which is weird because Candy people only eat candy so I'm staying alert in case of a near-future invasion. By the way, how's your piercing, dude? Mine is totally swell, I got this new ring with a peppermint pattern. It is totally rad man! You gotta check it out! I remember when we went to get your pierced, you were so scared that you chomped the poor guy's arm off. It was hilarious! Well, be sure to visit soon, like this week dude. But remember to wear some sort of disguise. You didn't leave a very friendly impression on the people in your last visit! Just remember to bring your tranquilizer with you. I'm all out. I don't know when you will receive this letter. You live in such a remote area! I think you should consider moving closer to Slinky so we can hang out more.

Stay Healthy.

Love, 

Eva

Coriolanus

National Theatre Live broadcasted the Donmar Warehouse production of William Shakespeare's Coriolanus, with Tom Hiddleston in the title role and Mark Gatiss as Menenius, directed by Josie Rourke, live from their Covent Garden home last month in Strasbourg. 

Here's our friends' informal review. (Spoilers ahead!)

Coriolanus is a play originally written by Shakespeare  between 1605 and 1608. The story was set in ancient Rome, where the empire still ruled and gladiators still fought against each other. It is based on the life of a Roman leader called Caius Marcius Coriolanus, a stubborn soldier with no aptitude for politics. The plot unfolds as his mother Volumnia wants him to become a consul and he is asked by the tribunes to show his support to the people.
