But i'll be back again next week on the twenty-second...
i'm going to Canada for the Stratford Festival. Anybody ever been? It's a big Shakespearean thing. Lots of plays. (Sadly, for me, no Macbeth.) But not much internet where i'm staying. Anybody here like Shakespeare? Maybe i'll find a Tim Horton's with wireless...

Haha, as much as a clever little writer Shakespeare is, I don't like most of his plays, actually xd I love his poetry though •w•; All the same, have fun while you're there heart

Coolz! Have fun with your Shakespear festival!
I enjoyed reading Romeo and Juliet in high school. Other than that....
I like the way he can insult people and still make it sound poetic.

Wow, that should be fun... if the actors don't suck. razz I don't really know much Shakespeare, but I do like what I've read (though... those have been shortened ones, if I'm not mistaken xp ). I'd like to go to something like that. I'm so uncultured. Anyway, have fun. razz

A festival of plays? I'm so very jealous... our local theatre has a new play every month. Mostly musicals. Old musicals. It's heaven for me, but I have to go anyway...
I review them for the newspaper. xd !
While I like Shakespeae's poertry and comedies, I'm not a big fan of his tragedies. I liked Much Ado About Nothing, Pericles: Prince of Tyre, and Two Gentlemen of Verona a lot. =D

Whoo! Back in the country! Totally broke!!
Torey, just for you, i saw two musicals. Mack and Mable, which i could give or take, and an excellent Oklahoma. We also saw a really horrid Merchant of Venice, a great Othello, a hilarious Comedy of Errors, and the best King Lear i (and my teacher) have ever seen. We also saw The Philanderer by Shaw, which was very dry and amusing. Gottal love British humour.

My piano teacher a couple of weeks ago was talking about seeing a version of Oklahoma on TV with Hugh Jackman, the guy who plays Wolverine in X-Men, playing one of the main parts. That's really weird to think about, Wolverine singing those songs. razz
Hmm, I think my brother went to a college play of Comedy of Errors for a required art class thingamajiggy, but it was strange, from what he told me. Like all the characters were dressed up as clowns, and for some reason, the father Egeon gives a speech at the start where he's standing on a fishbowl. O___o" My brudder had a lot of fun analyzing that, I bet. razz I ended up helping him with it when I hadn't even seen the thing! xd

Mack and Mable I've seen... I could give or take it. It has some parts, but it's just... eh. Oklahoma. Fun s**t, right there. I want to go to a theatre festival one of these days. The next musical I'll be seeing is The Pajama Game...
Sounds like you had a blast, Scara! Take me next time. xd

One of the adults who went with us bought the Hugh Jackman version's soundtrack, but i fell asleep when she was playing it. If you like theatre at all, The Stratford Fest is great, and they give seriously discounted tickets to students between eighteen and twenty-five.

You may not know this, but Hugh Jackman was a pretty awesome Broadway star, heh. He has a pretty neat voice. You only see him in big intense films, like X-Men, The Prestige, Van Helsing, etc., but if you watch Happy Feet, he plays Memphis (Mumble's dad), and he sings a little bit, and its okay. Also, if you have seen Flushed Away, he is the main character (Roddy), and he sings a few short little bits in that one too.

i didn't get to see Flushed Away, but i wanted to. My parents forced me to go see Happy Feet... it gave me nightmares. Those Elder Penguins were scary s**t. It was sort of redeemed by my boyfriend deciding to come with me and the family... but anyways. Yeah. i'm scared of creepy anthropomorphic penguin priest things.
By the way, The Prestige is one of the greatest movies i've ever seen. Just putting that out there.

Ah, I'm too lazy to make a new thread.
I'll be gone until sometime Monday. ='D
I'm going up to Idaho with a group of friends. We're going to spend the weekend at a cabin. ATVs, cold water, indoor plumbing (thank. god.), and whatever else. So, just so you don't think I've died, I'll miss you all! xd
