A little amuse bouche before dinner.
Over on Indiana Auditions, someone asks the seemingly harmless question:

How do you recite Shakespeare?

Various people weigh in with their experiences and helpful suggestions, and all goes well until... the vexed question of meter comes up:

Mr Antrobus suggests throwing out the meter to start with.

emily counters that "most of it is written in iambic pentameter for a reason".

Daniel begs to differ, "Au contraire, Emily."

emily's not about to take this lying down, since, "i spent 6 months studying with the rsc in stratford. i know what i'm talking about." (Yes, but do you know what the shift key is for, dear.)

tcrick's there to back her up, gently suggesting that, "whenever I see a passage that is prefaced by a trite romance language phrase I am immediately skeptical of any ensuing discourse as pretentious, patronizing pontification by an ill-informed or ignorant writer." (Love the alliteration!)

The OP tries to bring balance to the force peace, pleading, "Please don't fight. It's just theatre, fer cripes!" (Stop spoiling our fun!)

And Daniel retreats faster than a Frenchman.

I realise that this doesn't have as much TMI as your usual otf post, so let me mention in passing this odd pain I've had in my side for the last week and a half. I think it might be pancreatitis.
