In my-school-is-so-surreal news, I just sat around in an intimate school parlor (left over from the building's days as a genteel ladies' home) with about 25 students and teachers as Dennis Hopper chatted casually with them about Easy Rider.

You'd probably want to hold off on the

Hedda Gabler?
That might work. Plus, guns!

Prolly a little too depressing for those girls. At least Nora gets to leave.
The book has A Doll House, The Wild Duck, Hedda Gabler, and The Master Builder. I think it'll work.
I'm really getting into doing this work. I just called a local private high school about getting book donations and they have a whole bunch of biographies that they just weeded. I'm picking them up this afternoon. Plus my comic shop guy is gonna donate a whole bunch, too.

All great plays.
I remember liking
Rosmersholm
a lot when I read it, but I couldn't remember what happened. So I went here: [link] - it's all about "naive idealism" being destroyed, and multiple suicides and what-not. Huh.
I wrote a paper in a college history of theatre class comparing and constrasting Ibsen and Stringberg and their views on women and feminism. I think I got an A. I can't remember.
