The Number Three


3. Attend a Shakespeare play...

I've seen Twelfth Night in England, so I can't say this is a new goal. Here's my favorite movie versions:

Taming of the Shrew: the Burton/Taylor version is fun(they love to fight), but the BBC remake Shakespeare Retold with Rufus Sewell is fabulous
Hamlet: Olivier or Branagh? hmm...
The Merchant of Venice: Al Pacino is the perfect intense, obsessive Shylock
Twelfth Night: Helena Bonham Carter is wonderful, but the best part is Ben Kingsley as the troubadour
Henry V: Kenneth Branagh's battle monologue made me cry

Big A & I are going to Ashland in July for some Shakespeare. I don't remember what we're seeing (big surprise), but I'm excited.
