Toronto Lift-Off festival selects Nowhere Normal

No Coriolanus for me. Now wondering why, exactly…
And lo, there was much fury at the Scotiabank Cinemas in West Edmonton Mall on the 30th of January in this year of 2014 (AD), for the many buyers of tickets for the National Theatre Live showing of Coriolanus from London, England, which was not to be.
What WE were told at WEM was there was a satellite issue in Toronto, and the first half of the show wasn’t filmed. I was offered a refund or two special event passes to use later… though I had to wait in line then and there in order to get them.
But wait! It gets Better!
I texted Amy – my director and fellow Shakespeare nut – and she advised me the play was showing at HER location…South Edmonton Common.
I received this news as I was about to drive home. I wanted to march back into the theatre and roar, but I know the staff had nothing to do with this call and would be as perplexed as me.
One woman ahead of me, another disappointed Coriolanus-goer, lamented to her husband: “Why are we in Edmonton?”
Alas. I really hope they figure out a way to show the encore still.
A public service announcement to all men who hate women
I saw these on Twitter today:
. @Wildsau anti-feminism organization that thinks women are evil, lie about rape and basically are male supremacists.

Ahem. To all of men out there who agree with this point of view and argue it’s your free-speech right to say so…this geek girl exercises her free speech to give the following examples of men who disagree with you:
Joss Whedon thinks you’re wrong.
Tom Hiddleston thinks you’re wrong.
And
SIR Patrick Stewart
, Captain Picard, thinks you’re really, REALLY wrong.
Since THESE men don’t think women are stupid slaves who need to shut up, it will be a Canadian winter’s day in hell before I ever believe YOU.
Thank you.
ps Love to Toronto and Lac Mégantic. Stupid world.
