Sherlock with a side of lemons.
Ugh. Since this trip is shaping up I need some more citrus. However, the local supply has dried up. Ebay cannot possibly be the only source of artificial lemons. But nobody on Etsy seems to be doing wooden ones. I did find citrusy (seriously? not a word? not helpful, gods of writing and grammar!) soap which possibly has potential. http://www.etsy.com/listing/106935777/citrus-trio-fruit-soaps-soap-art
Right - back to Shakespeare and Sherlock!
So this is what the Baker Street Interludes are looking like:
January – resolution to Silver Blaze and Sherlock goes shopping.
February – John and Sherlock MST3K scenes from various Much Ado film versions - if I can find some more...if anyone knows of any, please let me know. Maybe I just haven’t looked hard enough yet, but I’m coming up pretty blank. Also, Playing Shakespeare – I know Sherlock would use this as a teaching tool but I’m not yet sure if that goes here or somewhere else.
November – There will be a post asking you all for things you would like to see here, so everyone watch some version of Much Ado, reread it, or both – and then channel your inner Mrs Hudson! Because this chapter is: Things Mrs Hudson walks in on during the year. This was inspired by the visual of her coming upstairs to find John embracing a weeping Sherlock. Because the boys will be rehearsing all the scenes in which either Benedick or Beatrice appear, you can go a little wild, it isn’t limited to B&B scenes. Oh yes, Grandmere and Mrs Hudson are pen pals. I'm not sure if this is a new thing or not, but they communicate through a combination of email and good old-fashioned letter writing.
December – final costume fitting.
Other things which will be going on but haven’t been slotted into the timeline yet:
The arrival of John’s portrait followed by a bit of rehearsal with Greg’s assistance – this one is actually already mostly written.
The Production has an email newsletter and possibly a website as well.
The bottle that Sherlock pocketed in the attic has a map inside it and the boys are going to have an adventure. This might dovetail nicely with the Musgrave Ritual.
Possibly a game of cricket since I wasn’t able to get that into TSP.
So tell me what you think. Does any of the above inspire you to thinky thoughts? What other sorts of Shakespearean things should the boys be doing? They could go see a live production possibly. If there are Sherlockian/Shakespearean things you would like to see me put in, let me know!

Dare I say it ... but Hero having to play dead might also just set off a PTSD situation in John (or Sherlock, or both( especially as there has to be a torchlight lament at her tomb. Some sad family member might think it funny and make a perfect copy of the cemetery where Sherlock's not-grave is and that would really put the cat amongst the pigeons.

(and that has just made me see a similarity between dialogue a scene in ASiP and something the 10th Doctor said in Blink ...)
My brain is all over the place today. Sex will do that to you (and make you a worse typist than you already are!

It's entirely possible she could only half hear and misinterpret a reference to 'my lady tongue'.
