Why this must be read:

I like to think that Darren's adventure in Germany went something like this. The lure of vital, true-to-the-core-of-what-makes-the-theater-experience is too power for a self-proclaimed brilliant artist with post-modernist sensibilities like Darren crumbling into a convoluted mess. We go along with Darren as he meets and tries to direct a rather loopy group of theater folk. The fic keeps building up until a New Burbage connection brings him back to Earth. rue_du_hoquet gives us a Darren who is both perplexed and fascinated by the situation he finds himself in. A very fun read.



Darren,
I was very sorry to hear that you were let go from the New Burbage festival. The trouble with Shakespeareans is that they are resistant to innovation. I find this is shameful. Perhaps it is time you moved beyond classical theatre. I am putting on a neo-industrialist hyper-representational production of West Side Story at the Kulturkosmos Müritz in January and I could use your input. Why don't you join me here in Berlin? The space is an old aeroplane hangar. You will love it. Send me a pigeon and let me know when you expect to arrive.
