A FEW PHOTOS from the
Hamlet production at the CIV (my school) last week. It was, in a word, incredible. I found myself asking this question: do I know many high schools in the United States that could put on a full-scale Shakespeare play? I mean, these are 16-18 year olds learning hundreds (thousands?) of old-english lines. Patrick and Julia came with me and they loved it -- Julia particularly liked the dresses and Patrick liked the sword fights.

Good to hear the play was a great success. When I see the costumes, all I think of is Henry in his knight costume and that silly face mask!!! He was hilarious!
