    Haha! No Canuck, I'm near 17; drinking age is a bit higher down here in the states (21). Not to mention i dont know where you get [19 - 5 = 12].... Anyway, thanks again. When I'm slightly less tired i'll try my hand at the conversion.

    And yes, the stratford lineup is fabulous this year...unfortunately, i dont think we're seeing any histories (its a school thing...we dont get to choose what we see). But i mean, macbeth and noises off and guys and dolls? cant get much better!

    The Scottish Play...

    Seamus,

    A word of advice: around theatre folks, NEVER say the name of Mr. Shakespeare's play about the King of Scotland...it is bad luck to say...that name...and a ritual has to be performed if it is said accidently! Most actors use "the Scottish play" as a substitute.

    My father was a Shakespearian actor, and I was not allowed to say that name in the house...and Blackadder ran a really funny episode dealing with two actors and the ritual they had to do everytime they said it.

    Sorry, couldn't resist!

    Cheers,

    T.

    I think Robert was using the math formual for calculating apron and pleats?

    I built the kilts for Stratford's production of Mac"R"s. Guys and dolls is OK and Noises off is great you will have a good time. Saying the scottish play in a theatre is bad luck but outside it's allowed.
    As for the math I blame the scottish play and working too many hours in a day!

    Robert just plainly screwed up. Thank goodness I'm better at the formulas for pleating!
    Time for a little break cheers

    episcopal, i can assure you, i am one of those theatre folk. i was also in macbeth. at my theatre, we dont abide by that superstition. my theatre teacher says the name, and we've simply been desensitized. oh well.
