Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Gods, yes. Jon Finch and Francesca Annis. I adore that version, unlike the largely unwatchable Orson Welles version.
I like the Welles because he filmed it just like a made on the cheap Republic serial (mainly because he made it for Republic, on the cheap), although that doesn't excuse Jeanette Nolan as his atrocious Lady M.
I also love THRONE OF BLOOD, but, I mean, Tushiro Mifune - what's not to love?
Definitly the Ethan Hawke version, then.
Well, except that version has no Players.
I saw it in April in Stratford-Upon-Avon by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and it was amazing! Squee!
Our Stratford is putting on Macbeth this season. C'mon up!

I should tell you that I find iambic pentameter very, very sexy.
And in the spiced Indian air by night,
Full often hath she gossiped by my side,
And sat with me on Neptune's yellow sands,
Marking the embarked traders on the flood...
No, I haven't read that book.
I have yet to see an Ophelia I really like.
Jessica is me. Except for the part where I have never seen an actorly "crazy" that I like. Ophelia should be off-putting, just when everyone trots out the bathos.
Yeah, but that requires stomaching Ethan Hawke. The last time I liked him was in Gattica. I guess I already consider him to be so whiny that I had a hard time separating him from the role.
Hee, hee, hee. I know. It's like he found out he'd finally gotten Hamlet and just said to himself "Damn, I been playing that part since Reality Bites."
Definitly the Ethan Hawke version, then.
Except I found that version so deathly boring that I stopped watching it midway through.
ETA: I liked Kate Winslet's Ophelia.

Kristin! Were you at the Swan? My mom and I took a trip in January to Stratford and saw All's Well, with Dame Judi Dench as the Countess. It was amazing. And Stratford is just beautiful.
Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other....
guh

Maysa is me on both counts.
Nope, not the Swan...what is it called, the main stage...The National Theatre? Is that right? It's right next to the Swan.
And yes, I loved Stratford.
