Or don’t you remember Lost Highway?<br />02: True story: I once asked a dude in college to run some lines with me while we sat on the floor in the hall during a prolonged break in an unrelated class, as it was my charge to memorize a bunch of Ariel’s pitiful bargaining with Prospero. He responded by informing me Americans can’t perform Shakespeare for want of the proper accent, a perfidious libel, and then, oblivious, unprompted and in earnest, rendered Shylock’s famous speech using a very creative accent mixing one part British-with-air-quotes to five parts arrogant douche. I’ll give him a B- for the staging, but I hope he has leprosy.<br />03: Baguette for raton laveur.Milkmaid's dumb friendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-49452622293270742552010-06-22T10:15:38.000-07:002010-06-22T10:15:38.000-07:0001.

The staging was good but nothing great. And I love Merchant, even though it's a little uncomfortable. Would be weird to see it done as a full on tragedy, although I also don't like it when those bits get toned down/laughed up too much. A delicate balance, that play.<br /><br />03.

(and somehow <i>lost highway</i> always comes back to rammstein for me - but doesn't everything?)kidchampnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-14398995492444409962010-06-22T13:30:17.000-07:002010-06-22T13:30:17.000-07:00All I remember was reading lines for Hamlet with W...All I remember was reading lines for Hamlet with William Hurt 30 years ago.
