No, no, no… you've got it all wrong… you can't act death. The fact of it is nothing to do with seeing it happen - it's not gasps and blood and falling about - that isn't what makes it death. It's just a man failing to reappear, that's all - now you see him, now you don't that's the only thing that's real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back - an exit, unobtrusive and unannounced, a disappearance gathering weight as it goes on, until, finally, it is heavy with death.

Anonymous asked:

This might be a dumb question but what is Lestats light exactly?

virginiaisforvampires answered:

It’s the sheer power of Lestat’s personality.

It’s his joie de vivre, his élan vital. It’s his exuberance, his enthusiasm, his willpower, his fighting spirit. His insatiable positivity and optimism. It’s his hope. It’s his capacity for loving unconditionally, for forgiving those who wrong him, his capacity for enduring. His heart. His soul.

They hit the nail on the head when they described Lestat as a “hurricane” in the show, because he is a force of nature, a radiant meteor full of fire and passion and intensity and a fierce indomitable strength that just will not allow him to ever stop.

In the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it. And who has been so close to doing it as we are right now?

flint goes up to billy with his i will be your king monologue. mind you this is the pilot. billy looks at him like he’s insane and you (the audience) think that too. you’re like sure war is coming whatever you say my guy now go do cool pirate stuff. two seasons later he’s not only managed to convince the whole pirate world he’s their king meant to lead them to victory in an unwinnable war but you (the audience) as well. absolutely incredible character

People who honestly think there shouldn’t be a proshot release of theater shows because then people wouldn’t go to the theater anymore are so fucking dumb holy shit how dumb do you have to be did people stop watching footbal games because it also airs on tv? did people stop going to concers because you could get the dvd? holy shit just let poor people have a taste of the thing too god damn it

I should add, as an opera fan, this is something opera got over long ago. I can access proshot recordings of practically every major opera production of the last 30 years, because most of them got official dvds. And that didn’t kill opera. Tickets for opera productions can often be gotten for cheap too. Operas, despite their reputation are actually really good about accessibility, at least in terms of cost.

But broadway musicals? The community that are mostly having this debate? My options are buying a ticket (for a large sum, plus a plane trip to New York), a sound-only official cast recording, a shaky low-fi bootleg video or a hollywood movie adaptation if I’m lucky. Tickets for musicals on broadway and the west end are often sold out and for large prices, and I doubt proshot recordings would put any major dent in that.

Also I can’t go into a crowded auditorium and probably won’t be safe to do so for years because people think Covid-19 is sooooo over

So it’d be nice to have a chance to experience a watered down version of shows ballets plays or etc. because I liked them and there’s so many I might not get to see

In addition to the price and location barrier, there’s also a time barrier with live theatre.

There are so many shows that I would HAPPILY pay to see if I could, but they ran before I was born or when I was a child/teen.

There are shows that I DID get the privilege of seeing live that I would love to see again, or share with loved ones, but I’ll never get to because they’re no longer running or touring.

Not only would pro-shot releases help people who can’t afford or access live shows, it would create an archive of these performances for present AND future audiences to experience over and over again (and probably generate broader interest in live revivals too).
