Right, another introduction. :)
I'm Kavita (known online as
lareinenoire or some derivative thereof). I live in Ohio, although I spent the past year in Cambridge, working on my M.Phil.
Favourite history plays include Shakespeare's Richard III, Marlowe's Edward II, and Webster's Duchess of Malfi (yes, I know, it isn't technically a *history*, but it's certainly based on a fair bit of history, no less than any of the others). I adored the bizarrely Fascist version of Richard with Ian McKellen, but I generally adore Ian McKellen, so that's not altogether surprising. Still need to find a copy of Duchess, as not too many people seem to perform it these days. Le sigh.
That's all I can think of at the moment. But I'm quite happy to find havens for historical geekery. ::grin::

I seem to recall that the Stratford Festival in Ontario is going to stage The Duchess of Malfi next year; I heard it from someone who didn't seem excited about this prospect, but I find that to be cause for much glee. It's a marvelous play.

Oh, and I'm still in Cambridge, so let me know if you'd like to meet up for in person historical geekery!

By the way, massive icon love!
