Sir Lawrence Olivier - early years


I know - two posts in one day, but I liked this so much I couldn't wait until tomorrow. A boy who has been given the part of 'grass' in the school play. Thanks to Jennifer for pointing it out.

    I'm at home today, paying bills and arranging shipping for stuff - in case you thought I was a lazy bastard.

      Both are true, but the former is a better excuse than usual.

    Thank goodness I never again have to use my imagination to devise constumes for school plays.

      Wasn't it fun, Weave, or did you just stick to tea-towels for the Nativity scenes?

    I liked the one of the boy in the school play that had to wear a doorknob strapped to his face. Haha!

      Ryan Seacrest trying to high five a blind dude was pretty good, too!

    Priceless, if a bit creepy. Was watching Midsummer Nights Dream so immediately thought about the yokel wondering how to play the Wall in "Pyramus and Thisbe."

    My daughter is a Shakespearian actress. She played the role a tree in Midsummer Night's Dream.
