Last night, we went made our annual pilgrimage to Luther Burbank Park for Wooden O's Shakespeare in the Park. This year, the production is Romeo & Juliet, which inspired Drake to pull out (and play) all related musical works that we have in our collection: The Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy by...
At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms; Then the whining school boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of...
A few more Wordles for your consideration: Richard III - Shakespeare Ulysses - James Joyce I Sing the Body Electric - Walt Whitman
Today I found a VHS copy of (Sir) Ian McKellen’s take on Mr. Shakespeare’s Richard III (1996). For some reason, despite numerous award nominations (Oscars, Golden Globes, BAFTAs), and an all-star cast (Annette Bening, Dame Maggie Smith, Robert Downey, Jr., Jim Broadbent, Kristin Scott Thomas),...
On my way home, I always walk by a small garden. It reached to the edge of a wooden door, with pale, thirsty branches. It extended the length of the wall in a patterned mesh; a crochet of varied greens - mint, sage, olive, lime - woven on a loom that never felt the pressure of human hands. Leaves...
WOW I haven't updated properly in ages. Alow me to reduce the past month into a conveniently compact list: Marie, Jess and my family went to see Richard III at the Athaneum. It wasn't their best play. Athough it was kind of amusing when lots of furry green things leapt onto the stage and started...
I could get used to going to the theatre every week, especially on Mondays which are usually such a dreary prospect, unfortunately there are funding issues so I'll have to make do with my sporadic trips for now. Anyhow, on to tonight's performance, The Revenger's Tragedy at the National Theatre...
Soleil lost out to a schnauzer at yesterday's audition. A dog less than half her size, and, I might add, with half her personality. That said, she was so overstimulated by the surroundings (a schoolyard replete with lots of green grass) and the various people that she only half-listened to the...
Word of Mouth Philippines will be staging Shakespeare's "Macbeth" this coming July - so? Well, let's just take these Scottish noblemen, turn them into fat-cat, power-hungry tycoon types, shall we? ... ^_^
Hi. Remember my English teacher who recommended I be a writer? Well, she's pointed me towards the Dramatic Writing major at NYU - Tisch School of the Arts. And I can tell you now that despite not having the grades (or money for that matter) for NYU alone, the program seems FANTASTICAL. I was...
The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is one of those great cultural festivals that blends the words of the Bard with the beauty of Lake Tahoe. It's something we try to attend once a year, if only to picnic on the shore of the Lake. This year's comedy production is A Midsummer Night's Dream, and in an...

Look at the first post you ever wrote on Vox. What important developments or changes have occurred in your life since then? Submitted by Alexandra. This was actually my second post as my first just a book review. My second post was on the movie She's the Man and my efforts to get my daughter...
Another great Billy T. gag, perhaps a bit more Kiwi in its execution—and in its targets.
OK. I know I've been absent. Sorry, I've been trolling, catching up on all my 'hood, but not post-able, so I've got a lot to catch you up on. Two weekends ago I went to Playing in the sand's to hang out and have fun. We saw movies, ate good, cooked some yummy tarts, did some shopping, and managed to...
In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet talking to Juliet, compares the young lover's face to a most captivating book and invites her to read in it with delight. Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face, And find delight writ there with beauty's pen. Examine every married lineament,...
One thing I look forward to since 2001 is Shakespeare in the park. My friend Tonye introduced me to it and I've been hooked ever since. She is letting me know today if we got tickets to see Hamlet. I'm going to try and sneak in my video camera. I don't think you're allowed pictures or videotaping. I...
No, I'm not about to launch a review of Shakespeare the Thinker (the very title, for some reason, sends shivers of distaste through my body), but muse about something that has been brewing for a week or so now - Shakespeare and Multiple Intelligence Multiple Intelligences has proved illuminating: It...
... but definitely some type of Allium: Now, some of you will finely think I've gone off my rocker, but hold in there: (It's going to be a rough 'ne). There is a scene in Peer Gynt when Peer eats an onion (raw) - one layer at a time. The onion is seen as a metaphor for Peer - by peeling off one...
