Actual review to follow

Lis and I just came back from seeing the Theater@First production of The Winter's Tale, which I'll write up in a bit.

But, driving home, we were talking. Lis was talking about Leontes and Polixnes growing up together, and a couple of their lines early on, and she said, "Leontes/Polixnes -- Rule 34?"

IAN: It would add another layer of depth to Leontes' jealousy. . . on the other hand, it would create an obvious solution . . .
LIS: Three-way?
IAN: Yup. And Hermione would go along with it, even if she didn't really want to, for Leontes' sake.
LIS: She's just that kind of sub.
IAN: How many other Shakespeare plots can be derailed with kinky sex?
LIS: Dream is obvious. . . you know, come to think of it, Paulina HAD to bring that carving to life.
IAN: Oh?
LIS: Otherwise, it would have been statuatory rape.
