Rushworth, the dull and stupid fiance, plays Count Cassell who had a reputation with women. So, yes it looks like Austen cast her men into opposite parts. <br />How far Tom really equates to Bottom the Weaver, is debatable....shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-31941998506502876422021-01-29T13:29:11.007+00:002021-01-29T13:29:11.007+00:00Some time ago I saw a blog about a production of M...Some time ago I saw a blog about a production of MP that had a one-night special in which the actors, in MP costume, acted out Lovers' Vows. It seems that the roles had precisely opposite characters - Austen had her heroes (mis)cast as villains and vice versa. <br />Tom Jr's wanting to play all the extra roles reminded me of Midsummer Night's Dream and the play within a play in which one of the rustics wants to play all the roles. I wonder how far the comparison could be taken.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-41989180700897535592021-01-29T11:00:22.130+00:002021-01-29T11:00:22.130+00:00Several years ago Julie taught her method at a nea...Several years ago Julie taught her method at a nearby yarn store. Various reasons kept me from doing so but I've always regretted it. Her cover sweater has a wonderful neckline. Her website has several free video tutorials. She is very clever as you say, Mary Lou.

P." - listening to the production yesterday I was struck by the fact that Austen does not use any lines from "Lovers' Vows" whereas you would have thought it would have made an interesting scene. Until I read the Nabokov lecture I did not know what the plot was. It seemed even odder when the segment was dramatised, so Mary comments on how warm some of the lines are but we never get to hear them. I wonder why this was?shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-40918876397637491372021-01-29T01:33:41.769+00:002021-01-29T01:33:41.769+00:00Yes, in my iPhone it's part of the Health app,...Yes, in my iPhone it's part of the Health app, which I'd never investigated until a friend alerted me to this capability.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568215693665518362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-79367669236834946652021-01-28T23:28:49.434+00:002021-01-28T23:28:49.434+00:00Apologies if this shows up twice — the Bernie doll...Apologies if this shows up twice — the Bernie doll was just auctioned for more than $20,000 (US), all of it to be donated to Meals on Wheels.
