#MuchAdoAboutNothing by #ForcedEntertainment, a #TableTopShakespeare

Don Jon: "The thing about me is that I'm a plain dealing villian."

Don John's servant: "[plan] & this will cause a lot of trouble."

Don John at wedding that was called off: "I was there too. And she is nothing but a whore."

#Shakespeare

Not trained in #DementiaCare.
And seeing I need at least informal training if things continue on the current track.

So don't take the following as more than an anecdote.

#TableTopStories on events in their own life and overviews of life-courses are pretty powerful for my elderly relative who is afflicted with #Dementia.

This #Storytelling / #Dramatisation is a generalising of the (bits obvious to me) method of #ForcedEntertainment's #TableTopShakespeare.

So far; good for pair and trio.

Just watched #TabletopShakespeare #Pericles.

The first king is a pedophile AIUI.
King. Pedophile. So current.

Tabletop reduces dialogue, costumes, acting, & stage setting.
Which leaves plot laid out distinctly.

This plot had more "acts of god" than Dicken's did in total.

Having watched a few #TableTopShakespeare we tried diy freestyle #TableTopStories.

Third performance of the night had a mid 1950s date night with a young woman going with her date from one dance, in his car, to another dance distant from home, and her struggle to get home after losing confidence in her date.

Chatted after, music was listened to.
And then #TheSaints #Stranded played. #Narrative #Synchronicity #AusMusic
20 years from the mid-1950s.

Tonight's #TableTopShakespeare is set to be #Macbeth.

So far we've had,
1. elite power struggle,
2. silly lads professing love,
3. elite power struggle.

None of those had "high speeches" in them that I know of. So I missed them nought.

But,
"Double, double toil and trouble", might be too much like cheese on a pizza.
An absence might subvert the whole deal.

Watched another #TableTopShakespeare by #ForcedEntertainment.

#KingJohn

Is this the "#WhoKilledKingJohn?" guy?

The version of "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?", "He doesn't have to say it, we just know what he means", Trump's coded calls for violence, contained in this performance was all too relevant.

Even when the placeholders were a #PotatoMasher and a wooden #MeatTenderisingHammer.

See a TableTop play of #KingTrump?
