A Man. A Woman. A Lawsuit.

I just discovered via the Slog that someone named Igor Keller has composed a baroque oratorio about the sexual harrassment lawsuit that Andrea Mackris filed against Bill O'Reilly. Mackris v. O'Reilly will premiere at University of Washington's Meany Hall January 12 & 13, 2007. According to the website, "It includes all memorable moments from the original complaint and more – paranoid rants, clumsy sexual innuendo, and the famous falafel fantasy. Composer Igor Keller has produced this 31-part, concert-length work in the form of a baroque oratorio, in the style of an updated Handel’s Messiah, for 31-piece chamber orchestra, 32-voice chorus and three soloists. It’s an oratorio for the 21st century!" Tickets are only $10. Sounds like fun! Perhaps we should have a group outing?

I can hear the tenor now: "Shut UUUP, shut up, shut up, shu-u-u-u-t UP!"

Ha! I believe there's a link to the libretto on the website, but I haven't followed it yet.

Omigod. Yes, I think this calls for an outing. Er. Expedition.

I agree. An outing. An outing. OK, an expedition. Where can we get tickets?

I'll investigate tomorrow and report back in a new post.

Believe me, as soon as you left town I got on the horn with Seattle's Cool Things Coordinator, and I said, "It's safe now. Let's roll!"

But if it's any consolation, it has officially been announced that this is already the wettest November on record, with 11.62 inches of rain measured and still a half month to go!
