Zeffirelli's Hamlet and Titania passage

Watched more of Hamlet last night but I didn't have time to watch the whole thing. I turned it off during Ophelia's funeral. I really like the very medieval feeling of the shoot. Love the way the castle dwarfs its inhabitants and how gloomy everything is. And there are a couple of party scenes that make me think of that Anglo-Saxon poem about the bird flying through the hall and how narrow the boundary is between warm and cozy on the inside, and cold and friendless on the outside.

I went through Midsummer Night's Dream today to find some Titania stuff for the showcase. I think I'm going to do the "These are the forgeries of jealousy" passage in Act II. Some beautiful stuff there.

Only in New York...

While walking home from the gym tonight, I came across a torn clear plastic bag lying by the sidewalk that obviously at one point had held a bunch of playbooks. I picked up several scripts including Tribute by Bernard Slade, Misalliance by GB Shaw, Greater Tuna, Three Sisters and Baby with the Bathwater. Oh, and The Canterbury Tales. Heh, heh, heh. I love getting something for nothing. Recycling in the most organic way.

Good workout tonight. My ass feels all tingly in a good way.
