Saw a decent Hamlet today. Hamlet sucked, but the rest were okay.

Made bread. Like the kind you eat. I can't believe how well it turned out. Took a fresh loaf to a party and had lots of fun... Not the crush girl.

Thinking about the power of simplicity in staging and how it gets all messed up when the actors are trying to do too much work at once. How confused it all gets.

I really don't get Ophelia going mad. She isn't mad, she chooses not to be. She is elevated from prose, to verse to song. No one gets it. She has caught on to what is rotten in old Denmark, she is the one who says "The king rises," but no one ever stages why she is watching him. Duhhhh.... She is smart and emotional (or else Ham wouldn't love her). She catches the mousetrap and realizes.... Why doesn't anyone ever look deeper into her. We, to this day, demean her by staging her as crazy. She is only as crazy as Hamlet.. Do we think it crazy when Juliet kills herself? Romeo? Grrrrr..... I think there is a lot more going on than the "authorites" get. Even the Arden is messed up, "Nymph, in thy orisons..." Mr. Jenkins says "Ophelia is seen as at her devotions. THe tone is 'grave and solemn' rather than ironical."

MY ASSS!!! She is a nymph, they have had sex... his sins should be remembered in her prayers because they are her sins as welll..... She then humbly thanks him and asks how his honor does... Subtle... innuendo. She can't play along with him because she knows her father and 'his' are watching!!! Grrrrrr... To have hamlet know, or figure out where Polonius and Claudius are ruins the drama of Hamlet's heart being eviscerated as she rejects him!!!

I could go on.. but what is the point. Sometime, I will have to direct or act this show and present from a dif. perspective....

Out damn spot!

Oh, sorry, wrong play.

Sporkboy.. I like that. Did you know the Japanese have a much greater affinity for sporks than us Americans?

As for art vs. knowledge, you hit the nail on the head. Surprisingly few people did. How disappointing.

So if you're palendramatic, do you shout "LEVEL!" and the like, loudly, with melancholy? What???

Hi there.

So, where was the production of Hamlet? I'm curious as I go to see a lot of theatre in Chicago.
