    ♞ THE COURTSHIP OF SARAI ♞ - Seeking Actors for Upcoming Show!

    in The Kingdom of Oren

    THE LA FLEUR PRODUCTION COMPANY PROUDLY PRESENTS...

    We at the La Fleur Production Company have always valued our Adunian actors and donors. Adunians have been part of our theater troupe since the beginning, when a young Calan Stahl-Elendil took a role in our very first production of Lorin + Augustus in 1772. As such, we feel a need to take a stance on the recent anti-Adunian racism that has spread throughout Oren.

     

    The Courtship of Sarai is a romantic fairy tale exploring the relationship between Harren Horenson, the father of all Adunians, and his elven bride Sarai.

     

    We view this play as a story of love triumphing over seemingly insurmountable differences - and about the wisdom of respecting people who may at first appear diametrically opposed to you. Dame Yuliya Styrne published the play in 1798. It was originally written as a Tuvmas gift for her longtime friend, patron, and eventual husband - Edward Napier. The fact that a Raevir woman wrote this play as a token of love for her Adunian beau proves to us that we can set aside division and come together as humans, as Canonists, and as Orenians.

     

    In response to the recent racism leveled against our kilt-clad compatriots, we have decided to stage another showing of our classic play. We intend to use the play as a means to raise awareness about Adunian culture, history, and heritage. 

     

    Actors and actresses of any race, hair color, eye color, skin color, or gender will be considered for each role. 

     

    - ROLES AVAILABLE -

     

    HARREN - The blustery and impetuous son of Horen, who later learns the values of patience, temperance, and humility. For this role, we would strongly prefer actors or actresses of Adunian descent. 

     

    SARAI - Malin's daughter, the princess of the elves. She is haughty and dismissive of Harren at first, but warms up to him when he shows a more vulnerable and humble side to her.

     

    MALIN - The king of the elves, a being of immense wisdom with a mysterious and innate knowledge of the world around him. He devises a plan to test Harren, to see if he is worthy of marrying Sarai.

     

    ELIAVAN - A smirking suitor and secret agent of Malin. He participates in the test to determine Harren's worthiness.

     

    ELVEN COURTIERS & BARDS - Members of Malin's Court who sing, dance, and play. 

     

    - HOW TO AUDITION -

     

    Director Anthony Bentarus will be holding an OPEN CALL for auditions at the La Fleur Theater on ((Thursday, July 8th)) at ((6pm EST)) before Lady Maisie D'Arkent's Social Season painting class.

    Its only awkward if you do stuff that will be left unsaid


    latte, why would you imply I do things like that?

     

    I’m married ooc….. 

     

    Why is it wrong to prefer to RP with other adults? :/ don’t read gross things into it.

    This is just for my own curiosity - and because I like to RP primarily with other people who are in my age-range. Just less awkward that way.

     

    Post here if you’re age 20+.
     

    Hi, I’m Urahra and I’m 28. 
     

    EDIT:

     

    Since people are deciding to read gross things into this and imply I ERP -

     

    1) I’m married. I resent the implication I would cheat on my husband using mineman. My husband PLAYS ON THIS SERVER. We mineman together. It’s a shared hobby.

     

    2) Also… adults like to talk to other adults — just like how teens prefer to talk to other teens. You guys really find it weird I prefer adult-age company over the company of teens? Wouldn’t it be weirder if I liked talking to teens more than I liked talking to adults? I’m not trying to ERP. I’m trying to hang out with people my own age who share my RP hobby. 

     

    Sheesh.

    THE PROVIDENCE POST - 1st of Godfrey's Triumph, 1827

    in The Kingdom of Oren

    Posted

    Anthony Bentarus, the Providence Post Editor-in-Chief, inspects his very Farfolk and not-at-all Adunian features in the glass of a shop window.

     

    And he feels pride in his accomplishments as an immigrant and proud to be part of a society in which people like him - racial minorities - can find achievement and success. What a pity it would be if some underhanded political ideologues started classifying Orenians based on their heritage and not based on their service and love for the nation.

    The Social Season of 1827

    in The Kingdom of Oren

    Posted

    Anthony Bentarus stared at himself in the bathroom mirror. He ran his hands over his stubble and breathed in deeply. Cupping water between his hands, he splashed it over his face.

     

    "It can't be that hard to meet someone," he said to himself, his blue eyes rising to meet his reflection. Water dripped off his chin, off the fringes of his dark hair. "Practically everyone gets married. Even the most stupid and loathsome of men can find a partner. All I have to do is show up."

     

    He gazed into the glass. Into the sight of his own stupid and loathsome face. And he was not reassured.

    The Lamentation of Luciensburg | An Appeal

    in Human Realms & Culture

    Posted

    “Once again, Mr. Melphestaus is on the money,” Anthony Bentarus says as he reviews the letter from his rented room in Penton Place. “Why we haven’t sent the ISA to help defend Luciensburg from this rat assault is beyond me. As fellow Canonists, we’re obligated! What’s to stop the rats from eyeing us next if we’ve left our fellows in Luciensburg to rot?”

     

    “Anthony, quit talking to yourself,” his sister Catherine says from the next room. “It’s a bad habit.”

     

    Anthony blushes as his sister catches him. He squirrels the letter away in his desk.

    A Pelican's Death, 1826/30 S.A

    in Human Realms & Culture

    Posted

    Anthony Bentarus had only really known Ms. Rutledge through her political writings - and their singular in-person meeting when he interviewed her for the paper.


    Regardless, though, he had admired the woman as a progressive and forward-thinking stateswoman. Ms. Rutledge had dared to push the boundaries, even in times when it was frightening and even dangerous to do so. As a fellow Farfolk, she inspired him.

     

    ”You made Oren a better place, Ms. Rutledge,” Anthony sighed as he read her obituary. He signed the Lorraine. “Be safe on your journey to the Skies.”
