next summer term, anyone at Lancaster uni, or the nearby area needs to look out for RESERVOIR DOGS being put on through the Lancaster University Theatre Group (maybe at the sugarhouse) as yours truly is directing it.

funnily enough,we're in the process of doing that right now, and have been in contact with his PA for the last couple of weeks. There is a chance he may back it personally, depending on how a few things pan out. Its also going to be the first time its been put on stage in this Country.

this one is just going to be cool.plus, when you try and get "original", like turning it into an interpretive dance piece or some shit, it ends up being wanky and shite. I just want to put on a play thats violent, and stylish.

how are you going to do the shooting, and the runningand the blood and the car chasing and remember all the words?

shooting uses spot effectsrunning isny hard because of the size of the venue, there are no car chases, and some of the actors in the the theatre group are fucking incredible, some of whom get regular professional work, so that isnt a problem, and never has been.

but has sense of the nowwith it's themes that are as relevent today as they were when it was first performed. Your choice of film adaptation is a badly written, originally poorly directed piece of sensational cinema that is easily forgotten and will not last the test of time.

Thats only your opinion, which, of course, you are entitled toPersonally, however, I love it. As do many of the people who want to work on it. And at the end of the day, we aren't doing this to make some bold artistic statement, we're doing it for fun. We are still an amateur society, no-one involved gets paid any money, although we do have a much larger budget to work with than any other amateur dramatics society, owing to the fact that any money we make profit (usually anything between £100 - £500) goes straight back into the society and is used to budget the next terms plays. The film being ill conceived is completely irrelevant. We aren't looking to revolutionise the way people think about theatre, nor are we trying to deliver a piece that has some sort of moral or social commentary. We're looking to entertain people for 90 minutes. And I've picked a film that a large number of people find entertaining. I don't see a problem with that.
