Afraid I'm insulting those of fuller interestes than mine. Shakespear was brillliant at everything he wrote, comedy, drama and tragedy. He just knew all about people and brilliantly
used language to describe us all in the world.

Just saw John Lithgow. Remember the tv comedy he did with Jane Curtain a few years ago. Another brilliant comedy. He's doing Arthur Miller - he calls it the Shakespear for modern times.

It is, too. See? He's theater, too and does brillliant comedy.

I've enjoyed several Miller plays, probably read more of them than I saw, but none the less, very good stuff indeed. I'm just off drama anymore. But it's clearly quality.

Does he do Shakespear? I don't know.

I used to love reading Tennessee Williams. Must have see a couple of productions on tv - Paul Newman/Elizabeth Talor in Cat, Catherine Hepburn in Maneregy???? I know it's not the spelling, but is that part of the title? Streetcar.

But I liked reading them more. My first was Baby Doll. My parents had a copy and I sat in the closet and read the whole thing when I was about 10. Don't think I got it. But I liked it.

Shakespear's hard. I can't read it on my own with any understanding and often don't get it when performed. But I loved it in class when we read and discussed and the teacher explained and gave historical background.

People learn so much just having these experiences. Doesn't matter if they never crack another Shakespear play the rest of their lives. It adds to their base. Gives strength of knowlege. Opens up minds to the continuity of life, our place on the time line, etc. Perspective.

The Bible does the same thing.

It's lots of places. Just teach it.
