My mother is an asshole and an idiot, but I think by now we all know that.
She's still giving me shit over TCWWS(A), and she still knows nothing whatsoever about the fucking play. She is trying to simultaneously insist that she has nothing against Shakespeare per se, and that older people like her, who are the majority of the ML audience, "know that they don't want to see it again." She says stupid-ass things like that people want to see talent shine through, which you can't see with improv (...?!?!) She asked why I'm so into this idea, am I perhaps communing with Shakespeare's spirit?
Maybe it's a fucking good play, you fucking bitch.
ETA: Now she says that Shakespeare is not funny. Oh my God, who have you been reading?
ETA2: You know, what gets me is that the bitch has no respect for the medium. Every play idea she brings to me was a movie first. Even Desk Set she's always talking about in terms of Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. It's like she has no respect for the theatre unless she's had the opportunity to bring it home on DVD and watch it in the comfort of her own home. That's not what live theatre is about.
ETA3: HA. She thinks Ethan was the only kid at ML who cared about acting. Ethan. Ethan, whose lines took me about ten minutes to learn when we thought he might not know his in time after he'd had weeks with the script. Ethan who was constantly coming to rehearsal late and screwing around.
Newsflash, Mom: Ethan was a talented actor. He was not a professional actor.
