As it happens, I just did this recently:

A production of "Romeo & Juliet"
            ________________________

and here it is without the stage:

How radical of you to change things. 

Hmmm. Here is a guitar player I did:

          Q
         /|\
       (o\_)=="#
        \| |\
ejm96  ~H| |/
            ~

Let's see what happens if I alter the one I posted yesterday:

    .      .         *       .       /
 *    .        .        .   *    .. //
     .      .        .            *///
        *      *        *    .    /&%&
 *                   .             &%&
     *      *     *    .     o~    &%&
 .        .         *        /`\   &%&
      *       ..       *     [ /%\ &%&
  .                          [_|_\_&%&
        .             c        &%&%&%&
                     (o\_)==#  &%&%&%&
                      /\       &%&%&%&
,,,,ejm97,,,,,,,,,,,,/,/,,,,,,,&%&%&%&


And if Romeo and Juliet are a little larger?

    .      .         *       .       /

                     (o\_)==#  &%&%&%&
                      /\       &%&%&%&

But it's really Juliet who gets all the best lines, don't you think?

"Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
 Take him and cut him out in little stars,
 And he will make the face of heaven so fine
 That all the world will be in love with night"
                                 (Act 3 Sc 2)

This made me start thinking of balcony scenes and Cyrano de Bergerac
serenading Roxanne through the lips of the man she thinks she adores.
(Was his name Christian?)

Cyrano de Bergerac

         /\  }}{   /\      &%&%&%&

Cyrano de Bergerac
    .      .         *       .   /

     .      .        .       * ///

As you can see, I'm having a bit of difficulty with Cyrano's nose but I
thought I'd post the idea anyway.
