vShakespeare
Ina Centaur announced a production of Twelfth Night in Second Life. The posting
contained no SLURL (Second Life URL) to go straight to the performance, only
links to web-based sites inviting one to sign up for something. (It was not
clear just what.)
Could Ina Centaur confirm that signing up at the website identified as the
Virtual Shakespeare Consortium (which requires handing over some rather personal
information like date-of-birth) is the only way to attend this performance? If
so, attendance by SHAKSPERians (or indeed Shakespearians generally) is likely to
be thin. If I've got this wrong and one simply can 'turn up' on the day, could
Ina pass on the SLURL to do so?
I should add that reassurances about signing up ('don't worry, we won't misuse
your data') won't wash: people these days are rightly reluctant to give their
valuable personal data up front, before seeing for sure that they'll get
something in return.

The SL Shakespeare Company Returns to Shakespeare with Twelfth Night: In Their
Usual Trademarked Extravagance...
Shakespeare, Second Life: The SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC) will perform a full
ensemble performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night: Act 1 in a special
short-run advance mini-season as part of their Fall Season 2008 repertoire.
Opening on SLSC Thursday, November 13th (following a "sneak peek" on November
12th), the full-length Act 1 is the first part of the culmination of a summer's
worth of rehearsal-performances in SLSC's tag-team staged reading series of
Twelfth Night.
Maintaining their tradition of visual and theatrical extravagance, the
mini-production also introduces the usage of multiple rotating sets, incognito
animation preloading, global lighting and weather control to SLSC stagecraft
technologies. Live dynamic camera control by a director fine-tunes the
performance with a cinematic appeal, while international subtitles, the SLSC's
"Pay as you Will" philosophy, and the play's location in the confluence of four
island simulators of the SL Globe Theatre make the performance accessible to as
many as possible.
Directed by Ina Centaur and Voice Directed by Enniv Zarf, the production stars
MadameThespian Underhill, Joff Fassnacht, Prospero Frobozz, Ludo Merit, Maedin
Tureaud, and Lorne Harlequin, and also a motley cast of "silent actors" who
create a different variation of a background crowd each time.
Miniseason schedule (All times SLT or GMT-8):
Wednesday, Nov 12 - 11 am "sneak peek"
Thursday, Nov 13 - high noon
Friday, Nov 14 - 1 PM
Saturday, Nov 15 - 2 pm - (ticketed)*
Sunday - no show
Monday, Nov 17 - high noon
*Most of our shows at the SL Globe Theatre are free, but VIP/ticketed shows
charge a nominal admissions fee of L$500. The smaller audience may entice.
ABOUT The Company: <<<
The SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC) is a resident-funded and resident-supported
professional theatre company that embraces the best of what Second Life (SL) has
to offer. Since 2007, we have been making history by providing extravagant and
unforgettable theatrical performances on Second Life. With each show, we
continue to shape the field by developing and releasing a new technology for
virtual theatre on Second Life. Our vision is to make live Shakespearean theatre
available to anyone anywhere with a computer to create new possibilities in
entertainment, culture, and commerce for residents of a diverse, unbounded
geosphere. Those are the side effects of our mission: to make Shakespeare cool
again! Latest news: http://blog.SLshakespeare.com
ABOUT The SL Globe Theatre <<<
SL Globe Theatre, sLiterary is a virtual reconstruction of the Original Globe
Theatre that historians conjecture stood in Shakespeare's days. It is
meticulously adapted as a functioning theatre in the massively multiuser virtual
world of Second Life. The SL Globe Theatre is the most historically accurate
rendition of the Globe Theatre on the Internet. Its SL rendition is set in the
confluence of 4 island simulators - thus allowing for the maximal number of
local audience members. Web preview: http://visit.SLshakespeare.com
Drop by a free show (or a VIP-ticketed one), take photos, post to the group, and

the sets.
