I think I have just put some writing in my journal, but very much a novice and apologise if I'm doing this all wrong!

(Anonymous) 2011-03-04 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)Banished men??
I'm currently writing more - Rowan bits and Karen bits, in the same way as we sometimes get a bit of Ginty in Cricket and Attic.
Now, Rowan makes a comment in Autumn Term along the lines that though Lois is great at reading aloud, she can't act, and used to die a thousand deaths when 'Kempe asked her to come to the front and be a Banished Man in IIIA'. I can't for the life of me think what text that might be - maybe some Viking legend or something, and we know that the Thirds do Faerie Queene because it sounds tripe when Miller reads it but not when Kempe does.... thought of Paradise Lost, but that's just ONE Banished Man (Adam) surely?
Any thoughts? Since Rowan is *in* IIIA in this, I'd like to put it in!

(Anonymous) 2011-03-13 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)"I also liked the violent, urban setting. Regan and Cornwall order Gloucester's castle "shut up" against Lear. The stage directions tell us that the banished men wander on a "heath"--a natural place. Nature is a major motif in the play, always opposed to artifice. Several characters wrestle with whether nature is just or cruel. But the word "heath" is never spoken on stage, so it is a legitimate idea to make that barren place into nighttime streets, populated by the poor, the naked, and the crazy. When Edgar, Gloucester, and Lear are cast out, they become homeless--just like the homeless men in our cities."
Re: Banished men??
I don't know, perhaps I could have her saying that and the reference to Autumn Term's info could be implicit!
I really wanted to have the scene where Kay and Jan Scott go and do the show for a very small Miranda on Junior Side, when she takes to her, but Kay and Jan where only Seconds then, and I don't think AF would do a whole story about a 10 year old. Shame!

(Anonymous) 2011-03-16 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)THERE were three ladies lived in a bower,
Refrain: Eh vow bonnie
And they went out to pull a flower.
Refrain: On the bonnie banks o Fordie
They hadna pu'ed a flower but ane,
When up started to them a banisht man.
He's taen the first sister by her hand,
And he's turned her round and made her stand.
"It's whether will ye be a rank robber's wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen-knife?"
"It's I'll not be a rank robber's wife,
But I'll rather die by your wee pen-knife."
He's killed this may, and he's laid her by,
For to bear the red rose company.
He's taken the second ane by the hand,
And he's turned her round and made her stand.
"It's whether will ye be a rank robber's wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen-knife?"
"I'll not be a rank robber's wife,
But I'll rather die by your wee pen-knife."
He's killed this may, and he's laid her by,
For to bear the red rose company.
He's taken the youngest ane by the hand,
And he's turned her round and made her stand.
Says, "Will ye be a rank robber's wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen-knife?"
"I'll not be a rank robber's wife,
Nor will I die by your wee pen-knife.
"For I hae a brother in this wood,
And gin ye kill me, it's he'll kill thee."
"What's thy brother's name? come tell to me."
"My brother's name is Baby Lon."
"O sister, sister, what have I done!
O have I done this ill to thee!
"O since I've done this evil deed,
Good sall never be seen o me."
He's taken out his wee pen-knife,
And he's twyned himsel o his ain sweet life.

Re: Banished men??
That has to go in, then, as it's definitely IIIA!
