amateur dramatics
I've just got back from a (mostly) vanilla theatre weekend with Tom, which was enormous fun. I rarely have the time to be in dramatic productions, even if I were good enough, but I love stage-acting. For the most part I keep the cravings at bay with spanking modelling, bedroom roleplay and amateur dramatic events with my friends, like this one.
Even among my non-scene friends there are quite a few kinksters, which occasionally surfaces in our interpration of plays. This weekend, for instance, saw a delightfully sleazy Lollio in The Changeling, threatening his hapless patients with a leather flogger. Elizabethan drama mentions whipping rather a lot, in fact, which can lead to some hilariously uncanonical laughs when the actors know each other's kinks. Such as my line as Lucio at the end of Measure for Measure:
"If you will hang me for it, you may; but I
had rather it would please you I might be whipt."
Definitely one to add to the list of lines to insert into a spanking movie.

I get a real kick off acting. Doing private play-readings or performances with a close group of friends is are just as much fun as making spanking movies, in a very different way. Acting together is something Tom and I have done since we first met, and our relationship thrives on the energy it generates. I've enjoyed a semi-sexual charge all weekend with dear friends who aren't and never will be lovers, but who understand the intimacy of that spark. And when Tom and I finally tore ourselves away from the merry-making, that energy poured itself into some of the hottest D/s sex we've had in weeks. Spanking wasn't on the agenda due to shared accommodation with thin walls (we didn't want to wake people up, although I suspect my cries were audible no matter how hard I tried to muffle them by biting down on the duvet), but we didn't need it. Watching him act makes me incredibly horny, and I'd been wanting to pounce him all weekend. When his hand finally closed around my throat and his eyes locked with mine, the rest of the world disappeared. I am his, and in that moment my awareness of the fact filled my whole consciousness. It was like my whole self became sublimely sensitive, responsive to the lightest of touches. It made my spine and my soul tingle.
If he can make me feel that way without even hurting me, I'm trembling with anticipation at the thought of what might happen now that we're home.

(My favourite line from The Tempest. I'm still waiting for the right kind of spanking clip where I can use it...)
Ooh, yes, there are a few like that. The Comedy of Errors has huge amounts of whipping - and, in fact, I seem to remember there being an actual paddle involved when I played Dromio! I'm starting to sense a theme in my being cast as hapless rogues who end up getting their comeuppance...
ReplyDeleteSadly, these lines refer far more often to laddish Cockney sparrows than disobedient wenches. I do very much intend to do a series of Shakespearean clips at some point though :)
I actually wrote a blog post about the "kinky" parts in The Tempest once. I don't know if you read it, my blog was still pretty new at the time and it was one of the first things I wrote:
ReplyDeleteProspero's Whips
I wrote it before I learned that our friend Amelia-Jane Rutherford has an alternative "bondage identity" called Ariel, which is of course also taken from the play.
Maybe my suggestion of rewriting the entire piece as a spanking film ("Prospero's Whips" or "Tempestuous Canings", which one do you think is the better title?) is a bit too outlandish after all. Which producer would go for that? But I hope that you get to do your series of Shakespearean clips at some point. I'd be delighted to see them, and I've actually toyed with the same idea for a while. I think NSI would be a good environment for that kind of fun!
Actually, I'd love to be in some Shakespearean clips myself, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. While I don't haf ze stereotypical heawy akzent of some of ze osser Germans, I sill don't feel like I could to The Bard's English justice.
So maybe I should stick with parodies of Faust... (Another great spanking film waiting to happen, I just have to find the right Gretchen)
