A time for merriment and laughter

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Who: Everyone in Luceti!
What: The annual musical rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream that everyone's been waiting for with the party!
When: From 8:00 pm to later into the night.
Where: At the school gym/auditorium and the cafeteria.
Summary: The big time for the play has come, time to put it on then party!
Rating: G to PG-13 at best.



When the audience entered the school gym, there will be a large stage set up with tons of chairs for everyone to sit in. After all were seated, the play began and everything was wonderful for the most part, there were some minor slip-ups here and there. Yet overall, the play was a success. Once the party had finished and the encores were done however, Frederic came out on the stage to make a speech.

"Good evening everyone, thank you for coming out tonight on this glorious occasion. To everyone involved and to all of you our wonderful audience, it has been a pleasure seeing and being with all of you. Now if everyone will turn to the school cafeteria, we can all dine together."

The door to the school cafeteria then opened to reveal a beautiful nature setting with decorations galore all over the place. There will also be a very large table with much food on it with drinks for guests and cast/crew to eat, drink, and be merry. Tonight is a night for celebration, everyone will celebrate with happiness in their hearts.

HAD TO.

[Jack had insisted upon seeing the performance and dragged along whoever he could. That being said they were in for a night of his special brand of audience behavior.

At the part in which the players gathered and divvied up their parts he was snickering all the way. Bottom was such a loud fool, and funny too. But when Flute protested to their part claiming they had a beard coming -- that was when Jack Aubrey lost it in a slightly loud, singular:]

Hah!

[That gets a sudden look from Kennedy, although he's not looking greatly irritated. Most 18th-century audiences are known for being pretty damn vocal about plays. But that belt had been particularly sharp and loud, and the non-18th-century portion of the audience seemed to think noise was unwelcome. So odd for people so insistent on informality to want utter silence during plays, although laughter in the right places seems okay. Applause before the end of an act is not.

Really, he's just happy to see Shakespeare, and this is very different for him. He's used to the Bard's comedies being abridged within an inch of their lives, and seeing this in full is a treat.]

[A soft, brief, but long-suffering sigh comes from the other side of the large man.

The physician gently-- at least in his own estimations, it's certainly not what he did in Port Mahon-- drives his elbow into Aubrey's ribs.

Two hushed words, gentle enough but easily conveying what much of the audience seemed to be thinking, leave him.]

My dear.

[The face he makes next after being viciously elbowed is one that shouldn't belong on a man his age. Or his size for that matter.

Yes, that is a wounded looking approximation of a pout as he glances over at Stephen, loath to miss a moment but he cannot let his dear friend go un-responded to.]

It's a comedy, joy. What else am I to do?
