As one of the actors in the play I want to add my comment here about the video above:

The idea to stage the famous play from the in-game book The Horror of Castle Xyr came from Nelira. She made a theather in her house Grymharth's Woe with amazing detail.
After that she thought fitting emotes for the play and we practiced it all together for 5-6 times before the actual premiere, improvising and adjusting the emotes where needed.

I myself was pleasantly surprised how good and smooth the emotes in the game work. Also this play wouldn't have been possible without player housing. My appreciation to the devs over these aspects in the game, which make it possible to do this kind of stuff for fun with the other players

It was huge fun and I hope we can do couple of more plays in the future!

As another actor I want to say a huge thank you to @Nelira for admitting me in the play, even though I'm not from the guild. And lots of thanks to my fellow actors, of course, it's been great working with you all! It's really great to take part in one of my favourite Elder Scrolls stories! The rehearsals have been lots of fun, and the resulting performance just incredible. The viewers have been very kind, thank you, guys!
And sure, @Ithilis is right, many credits to the devs for making it all possible!
And my respect to @Ithilis for the awsome poster. And to @ThreeDG for the video, and @Bo0gyman for the live stream.
So good to meet new friends and I too hope to do yet more plays!

Khajiit will most certainly enjoy watching this later in the day.

This one herself has built a small theatre but with the present limit on the number of guests it has not yet been possible to make much use of it.

I'd love to see that teather

I warmly recommend making use of live stream. We got tvitch running while performing (thanks to https://twitch.tv/bo0gy ) where the people who couldn't fit in the house could follow it. It's not the same as real experience but proved to be nice solution to the limited guests problem, same as this video.

Thank you, really glad to know we managed to make it right, was great fun practicing and decorating and all

And thank you all so much to all the amazing actors and both our filming guys who helped me make it possible! Also, special thanks to @Ithilis for the masterfully done poster! And, of course, many thanks to everyone who came to watch the performance live in the game - you really managed to create a true theater atmosphere and made it more than worth the effort our theater troup put into this work!
We are currently working on moving the theater to a larger building and hope to be able to have more guests present at the same time as soon as possible.
