Reenactment Help!

[nirejseki.livejournal.com]

I'm doing a reenactment of some scenes from the French Revolution with my friends in a few weeks, and I was wondering - does anyone have an English translation of Camille Desmoulins' Aux Armes speech on July 12? The "jump on a table, pull out a pistol or two, and get everyone to wear green" speech; I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. ^^

Also, I'm looking for Saint-Just's "Report on the Dantonists" (again, in English - alas, I speak no French).

Anything else you can get me in English, I'd be grateful. Preferably by Robespierre, Desmoulins, Danton, Saint-Just, Marat, etc. All is welcome; presume we know nothing. ^_^

We have a pretty willing group, so if there's anything you'd like to see people in costume performing in front of a camera in Central Park or wherever it ends up being - please, either give me a link or email me at riderriddle@yahoo.com

(Also, if anyone knows a lot about costumes of specific people and can link me to something that has really good images, that would be very helpful! It's the little details, like "What did stockings look like" and "What type of shoes?" and "What do the sleeves look like again?" that really get you...and if you can answer any of those questions, that helps. ^^)

Thanks a lot!

If you want to re-enact anything concerning Marat, give me a heads-up, I can get you anything you'd like! (But I'm PRETTY sure you'd be interested about his death, I can give you what REALLY happened)

Sure, send me stuff on his death. But if you can give me details - and speech - of anything he actually said, I'll throw it in. ^__^ Obviously edited into somewhat more speakable length, but ne'ertheless, it'll be good to give him a speaking part! The only reason we hadn't fretted about it before was because we didn't know anything good for him.

Email me with details, please! Thanks!

Oooh~ I can give you speeches! I'll take me a bit though (I'll have to re-type them >_<;) Oh no worries! I'll edit it myself~

Yay! Thank you very much!

Out of curiosity, could you also give me a quick description of what he would wear in a given situation? I know only very vague details and he is one of the more...differently dressed than most of them. ^^ Thanks!

Sure can! ACTUALLY, if you look at my post I recently did, theres a couple of pics of him!
