Love the classics

The last couple nights have been full of tedious tasks like cutting large sheets of paper into smaller sheets of paper. Yeah, for this I have 10 years of post-secondary education.

To help me not notice how time is dragging, I like to throw in a favorite movie. I have a list you can see on my profile of some of the top-most-likely choices but tonight it's Shakespeare. A Midsummer Night's Dream as interpreted by Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Kline, Stanley Tucci, Calista Flockhart and the host of delightful actors they have together portray it. It's a pretty lush production and the fact that one of my favorite plays is being performed by some of my favorite actors mean it will continue to play over and over again at my house.

The only other performance I've seen to match it was when the Saskatoon Summer Shakespeare festival acted the play in traditional text but set in the 20s, Brooklyn accents, flapper costumes and all. It was marvelous!! And, of course, another great Shakespearian rendition is A&E's "Much Ado About Nothing." Tops them all, actually.

Anyways, it's back to my paper trimmer as Pyramus and Thisbe move once again to their prescribed fates...
