Okay so this isn’t about contemporary writers or anything but since I’m doing Homebody/Kabul as my final project this article in BU Today (of all things) caught my eye.

aaannnddd another Shakespeare note. Actually… multiple Shakespeare notes…because even though it is classical work, I think it’s a testament of the contemporary theatre world and it’s ability to continue to rework classics.
This link is for an article about the 2012 Olympics in London. For those of you who haven’t heard, the Globe is producing all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays in 38 different languages. I’d kill to see this.

And something we can all see if we’re in New York this summer. The RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) from Stratford is bringing their season to New York. I can’t recommend enough to go see their production of Romeo and Juliet. I barely have words for it but it was one of the most breathtaking and moving pieces of theatre I have ever seen. My heart is fluttering just thinking about it. However, I don’t recommend seeing their production of King Lear which will also be playing in New York…again, I barely have words because it was so f-ing terrible.
