Monkey Chatter of the Mind
Ahoy! I'm Becca, and these are the inane ramblings and discoveries of a twenty something South African Jewish Director/Actor/Professional Bunburyist living and studying in New York. I am decidedly ENFJ, an Ally, very liberal, and am generally tolerant of everything besides willful ignorance. Occasionally, I wax rhapsodic about olives.

I’d love to find the show this is from so I can watch/hear this scene’s delivery in full.

This looks like the greatest show - The Master and Magneto being a snarky gay couple.  A ship I didn’t even know I needed.

A happily married gay couple, one of whom is Stratfordian, the other Oxfordian.

They’re like the James Carville and Mary Matalin of the Shakespeare community.

BENT - 1979 - Tom Bell and Ian McKellen
Making love without touching.

This is one of the most upsetting, powerful plays I have ever read.  The scene where they make love without touching actually moved me to tears on the page alone. 

There’s a scene in this play in which Ian McKellen’s character Max is forced to beat his lover to death on the train to Auschwitz. During one performance, Ian McKellen became so upset, he actually defecated on stage.
