How doth divide thyself?

Was the central query in 12th Night. Catherine, Laura and I spent a sunny Sunday afternoon watching Sam embody Fest/ the fool in this gender bending and kinda incestuous Shakespearean classic. Staged by the Women's Will company, the all-female cast put on a fun show in a parking lot turned ampitheatre in Hinkel Park, Bezerklee. I have memories of seeing various Shakespeare performances --in movies (Midsummer Nights Dream) and 12th Night (w/Julia Stiles and Benjamin Bratt) with Amy and Elaine. Good summer times...

Shakespeare makes me appreciate good wordplay and general poetic expression. English is so boring nowadays. We should all demand evil-doers to "separate themselves from their misdemeanors" or greet summer fun and romance with "this is very midsummer madness."

So go enjoy some Shakespeare--here's a schedule.
