and you may refer to "just a story" for a tremendously veiled attempt at shameless advertising. if you bothered to read the long ass entry (which is actually a short story - you'd realise that the setting is actually a rip off from Julius Caesar - and the story of Jin is just my own reading into the character that i'll be playing in the play).
if you are in the country, go buy a ticket. watch this play! it's been adapted and i daresay - that it has been adapted quite well. so much so that people from Shakespeare enthusiasts to non Shakespeare enthusiasts would genuinely enjoy the play!
*Tickets cannot be reserved in advance but can be purchased over the telephone (and eventually online) using credit cards. Please call KLPac Box Office on (03) 4047 9000 or The Actors Studio @ BSC on (03) 2094 9400. (or go to www.klpac.com)

Synopsis:
Julius Caesar is a tale of conspiracy, power, death and destruction.
When Caesar returns victorious to Rome, he is offered the crown by the populace and unwillingly he rejects it, three times. Cassius, wary of Caesar's foibles and ambitions conspires to have Caesar assassinated; but for his conspiracy to be accepted by the populace he must, and does, win the noble Brutus over to his side.
The pre-determined day for the assassination, the Ides of March (15th March), is prophesised by a soothsayer. On that day, Caesar is mercilessly stabbed to death on his way to the Senate House. One by one the conspirators, in the form of a ritualistic sacrifice, thrust their daggers into Caesar's body. The final thrust is delivered by Caesar's beloved Brutus... 'Et tu Brute'.
What follows is a disastrous series of events, culminating in the double suicides of Cassius and Brutus.

rehearsals for this play has been amazing. most of the cast have been in the theater scene for quite a while and watching the creation process night after night has been a real experience. i feel like i'm getting better just by being around them!
obviously, there's some serious acting involved in this play and with all the dying happening in the end ... my character being very closely connected with Brutus ... in the last few rehearsals - my final scene with Brutus ( in which my character is the last person with whom Brutus speaks with - and my character who is very close to Brutus...knowing that he is about to kill himself and can do nothing about it ... ) - well, it's quite an emotional scene lah.
so with each passing rehearsal i work on creating the proper emotions for the scene - building up to it and this is one of the toughest things for me. i am after all still a real freshie when it comes to acting. however, in the last few rehearsals, i've found that i not only can work up the emotions inside but actual tears form and i begin to cry - and i feel *genuinely sad!
i'm not just acting it anymore. i'm genuinely sad! i know ... it doesn't sound too exciting reading it here ... but it means a lot to me. in the past year and half - i've improved as an actor...and i'm loving it. *Grin.
hopefully - by the time i'm done with my damn Law course next year in July - i'll get more acting gigs. i can't even imagine what it'd be like having to work on plays and act without having to worry about studying for exams, etc... *sighs wistfully.
anyway, below are postcards they made to publicise the play...
alrights. thats it for now. laters.
