Junk Drawer by Ellis Rosen for June 29, 2023

I just have one question: Huh?

Alas poor Yorick. Me bearly knews thee.

A femur of infinite jest.

I guess only the lead player gets the skull. Understudy gets a humorus.

Yorick was a man of infinite jest. Therefore, the humerus.

Are you sure this isn’t the opening scene from 2001?

The understudy needs to bone up on the part.

Yorick is recovering from a concussion.

So he flubbed his prop? Getting the proper prop in place is not the responsibility of the actor or understudy but of the stage manager and the prop director.

The art in Junk Drawer is amazing! This is actually evocative of stage setting and lighting.

What I’m saying by implication is that I have no bone to pick with the understudy for Yorick. I barely knew him.
