A set that transports the audience to another era - but no specific era, just that of the "generic past." But, in lieu of actual people moving about in the corridor upstairs, we have something that looks like multimedia screen projectors.

Metaverse Shakespeare Company’s 2010 Main Canon: Twelfth Night, Act 2
– Preview Season
Shakespeare, Second Life—March 2, 2010—The Metaverse Shakespeare
Company (MSC), formerly SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC), Tuesday
opened its Preview Season, exclusively to the MSC inworld group and affiliates.
The repertoire features its 2010 Main Canon production of Twelfth
Night, Act 2 in an open-ended run to occur every Tuesday at 6 PM SLT,
and every Sunday at 1 PM SLT. Set to occur at the 4-sim SL Globe
Theatre, the performance continues the troupe’s 2009 production of
Twelfth Night, Act 1—but, with a fresher, riper take, and its own
amalgam of the year’s innovations in virtual theatre.
This Open-Ended run of Twelfth Night, Act 2, like Act 1, is based on
archetypes, grounded in the play’s intrinsic elements, such as
character relationships, set in a world that is pre-modernity, and
yet, says Artistic Director Ina Centaur, the topsy-turvy nature of the
play and the era of its creation comes through, “Even though this
production is set in the ‘generic past’, there’s still plenty of
Elizabethan notions and bawdry… There’s the presentation of
class-crossing as a ridicule-prone absurdity and the visual portrayal
of that heavily-cozy-explicit language—with a wild bit where a
drunk-betimes Sir Toby Belch urinates live on-stage to “[fill] an
unfill’d can (II.iii).” Says Centaur on the music of Twelfth Night and
the spirit of the open-ended run, “I’ve composed my own little tune
for Feste’s Song to Orsino in Scene 4, which will actually only be
sung in select shows—but you can find its sheet music on the
mShakespeare blog... For most shows, we’re sticking with an orthodox
interpretation and traditional songs, drawn from the era before and
Shakespeare’s contemporaries. But, this being an open-ended run, be
braced for variations, and character metamorphosis—in both act and
appearance.”
While this will be the troupe’s first production under its new name of
Metaverse Shakespeare Company, Centaur asserts that the production
continues to uphold the company’s founding ideals in developing this
nascent field of virtual theatre, “As with every Main Canon
production, we apply new technologies to virtual theatre. For Twelfth
Night, Act 2, our three technological innovations include the usage of
physics, moving automatons, and visual illusion on the virtual stage.
You’ll see physics on-stage, in both built-in and scripted forms in
our apple catches in Scene 3, and wilting rose motif in Scene 4—and,
in the crawlspace of Scene 3, you’d see prim-based automaton actors in
the form of rats!”
Special to this production, the MSC introduces the concept of
“crowdsourced interactive set design,” which allows anyone to submit a
graffiti message or poster/flyer idea to be plastered onto the “City
Wall of Illyria” set in Act 2, Scene 1. More details at
The play stars Alestria Corryong, Caliban Jigsaw, Constantine Paulino,
Ina Centaur, Kerry Takashi, and Pipsqueak Albatros.
The live show, presented via SL Voice, is also available in live
closed-captioning with opera-style subtitles in English, Esperanto,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.
Starting March 2, shows occur
Tuesdays at 6PM SLT (PT)
Sundays at 1 PM SLT (PT)
only at the SL Globe Theatre at Shakespeare (255,255,25)
About Twelfth Night, Act 2
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a dynamic story with plentiful songs
and bawdry topsy-turviness. On one hand it’s the story of a
shipwrecked girl named Viola, whose choice to go incognito as a boy
eunuch results in myriad complications—including a gender-bending love
triangle. On another, it chronicles the fallacious rise and tragic
fall of a Puritanical steward named Malvolio, who becomes a victim of
his too-lofty dream. Act 2 sets the basics for his downfall—his
dysfunctional relationship with the other servants provokes a
practical joke involving a certain forged letter, that would
eventually ruin him.

18 Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC visiting Tirta Empul (Holy Spring) Temple, Tampaksiring, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977.
The spring-fed ponds were a place that sins might be washed away. No one seemed in need of purifying ablution on the day of our visit however. I did think Mark (Coco) Crampton's thoughts were less than pure though. Coco had med a young lady from Sydney who we nicknamed 'Splinter' on account of her slight physique. He was doing his level best to charm her but unfortunately for Coco, Splinter was far more interested in Made.
The tree growing on the platform, with its roots cascading towards the water, was a pipal tree (Ficus religiosa). These trees are often planted in Hindu and Buddhist temples as they are highly significant to people of both faiths. Buddhists believe that it is the tree under which Buddha was meditating when he reached enlightenment.
wherein i learn the art of rubberbanding prices as people spontaneously crash and return and crash and return... and others take over "on behalf" of others and other things lost in translation as my fab int'l friends help... and as we finally reach our third auction, we finally break over a week's tier of L$3000 :-X ... oh this is classic good hard honest work!!!

47 Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC training Indonesians in surf reel and belt, Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977
Ken (Knuckle) Ryan and (Wolfman) Warner had a particularly good morning squad. Wolfie has an arm around I Made Suparka. Made later came to Australia wit I Putu Suwardi. These men earned their Examiners qualifications while staying at the Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC over 6 months. Made and Putu were fine fellows and remain good friends of the Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC. Made is the current president of Badung SLSC and has filled I Gde Barata's rather impressive shoes with equal competence. Everything Made does has the genius of competence, thoroughness and thoughtfulness. He is a fine example to the world's lifesaving fraternity, being the quintessential surf lifesaver.
The trainee instructor was Rahman, with his foot on the reel. Understanding Wolfie's gruffness to be more show than performance he enjoyed baiting the big fellow. At the end of a rescue and resuscitation drill it was necessary for the trainees to rotate through the various roles. This was achieved through the 'change flank' movement, where the man on the left (patient) would mark to the right and assume the role of linesman. Rahman would allow the R&R drill to end and then with fiendish gleam in eye turn to Wolfie. "We change flank now?" Wolfie, apoplectic at being asked the same question every ten minutes over the course of several weeks would fulminate mightily and then growl, "Yes, Rahman! We change flank!" With a huge grin, having landed his black marlin one more time, Rahman would turn to the squad and snap "Squad! Change flank!" It was a routine that the Marx Brothers or the Three Stooges might have considered using.

Not the shot I'd have chosen, but still.
From left to right: Lucianus, Player King, and Player Queen -- the three stars in Hamlet's Mousetrap, that nifty play within a play, wherein he caught the conscience of a King...
