The Tempest it will be

[vaneramos]

Thanks to everyone who voted in my Shakespeare poll. It must have been a good question, because the votes turned out 13 to 13. So I used my position as chairperson to tip it 14 to 13 for The Tempest over As You Like It; I figure it will appeal more to Marian's dark and offbeat sensibilities. But if I can swing it, we'll see both.

As You Like It!

Hey there,

We saw As You Like It last night at Stratford... was quite good. The rock-inspired music by Bare Naked Ladies was good, too. The actors performed very well. All and all a great evening.

I noticed Ian's post about that this morning. Thought it was a neat coincidence we had both been talking about the same thing! I love BNL and hope I get to see both plays this summer.

and, like the baseless fabric of this vision
the cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
the solemn temples, the great Globe itself,
yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
and, like this insubstantial pageant faded
leave not a wrack behind.
We are but stuff as dreams are made on
and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

It is marvellous poetry.
