This sounds so cool! I would definitely check it out if I lived in the area.

Whatever, dude. Bowie is the ass-kicking Goblin King, not some pansy-ass Lord of the Faeries. Always has been, always will be. Oberon's got nothing on his ****.

I live, like 30 minutes from the college thats putting it on, but I would never be caught dead there. Stevie's great and all, but people I know are weirded out by the idea of me liking her. So if they found out I went to a steve nicks/bowie inspired disco-pop shakespeare play, I'd never be able to live it down.
