I hadn’t planned to do a promo for the play. But the book’s been a favorite for years. Anyway, I was looking at Kyle Cassidy’s photography for the play (http://kylecassidy.livejournal.com/691978.html), and I really liked the blood spatters on the play’s title.

Here is Curio Theater’s 2010 production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. At this point, the only thing I had to work with was a Sony TRV700, a standard-def video camera. I’d gotten good results out of it for my little personal video Clark Park, June 2007, and I guess that impressed Kyle Cassidy… Continue reading
