Happy almost Halloween!!!

If you *really* like Halloween, Shakespearean theater, 1998, New York City, Central Park or old low-resolution shaky home video w/sometimes bad audio - then this 20 minute video from 20 years ago is for you!

THE STORY
     Back on Saturday October 24, 1998 (TWENTY years ago this week), I was walking through Central Park with my old VX-1000 video camera, when a bunch of characters from Shakespearean stories came upon me. I think many or all them died in the stories, and these were their ghosts. I started filming them, then followed them back to Belvedere Castle, and filmed some more.
     As it turns out, I think they were returning from the dead, to steal William's book of stories, to somehow take away his power over them (or something like that).
     I returned the next day to film the performance from the beginning, but I think the tape ran out, and I don't know if I had another tape to continue filming (I haven't found that video footage yet among my 150'ish videotapes from the 1990s and early 2000s.)

Performed by www.FauxReal.org

So, here you have the end of one day's performance, preceded by the beginning of the previous day's performance, with plenty of gaps throughout - Just enough to give you a taste of one of the many quirky and unique things one stumbles upon, walking through NYC.

BEHIND THE SCENES
There's also about 5+ more minutes of the performers warming up with fun theater exercises. If anyone wants a better copy of this footage (uncompressed, instead of compressed for online streaming - although, it's still just SD), for posterity, promotional or whatever, you can contact me through www.tc3Imagery.com.

Also, as time and money permits, I'll get more of my many videotapes transferred to hard drive, and then upload whatever gems I find among them, to share.
