Surprise! Michele Bachmann is not a Shakespearean scholar. However, if one is going to be all high falutin' and quote the playwright on the House floor, one should maybe try to get it right. It's easy to see where she may have gotten "Thou protesteth too much" from "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"... I suppose? I guess if you are not familiar with "Hamlet," then you might screw that up. I don't know. I'm not a weirdo who quotes things incorrectly in front of large groups of people. [...]

La prensa especializada del Reino Unido no habla de otra cosa. PJ Harvey , ganadora de, entre otros muchos, el Mercury Music Prize por su más que interesante álbum Let England Shake , una obra que literalmente hace tambalearse a los cimientos del sistema políticosocial actual inglés, es la encargada de ponerle música a Hamlet, una nueva interpretación de la famosa obra de Shakespeare que corre a cargo de Young Vic. Será la parte de uno de los personajes, Ophelia e interpretada por Vinette Robinson dará rienda suelta a música [...]
I've always had strange, vivid dreams. Unlike my mom in hers, I never have the ability to fly, nor do I possess any other superhero qualities. More often than not, my nocturnal reveries are populated by people who were more significant in the past than in my present, and the house in which I grew up is frequently the setting. Occasionally, I'm naked in public, being chased or falling (I always wake up before I'm caught or before I hit the ground), but usually, the big threat is one of the things I fear most: cockroaches. [...]
Após cantar em Let England Shake as guerras e a violência de seu país natal, a Inglaterra, PJ Harvey assumiu outro capítulo sangrento do Reino Unido: dessa vez, um capítulo fictício, sob a forma da peça mais célebre do país da rainha, Hamlet, de William Shakespeare. Para uma nova produção da peça, encenada em Londres e com Michael Sheen no papel do príncipe dinamarquês, Polly Jean compôs músicas que serão entoadas pela personagem Ofélia, interpretada por Vinette Robinson. A notícia foi anunciada por PJ através de sua página no [...]

Actor David Tennant, best known for his recent turn as Dr. Who, has made the dream of concert pianist André Tchaíkowsky come true. The pianist, who died in 1982 from Cancer, wanted nothing more than to be a part of the Royal Shakespeare Company - as an actor. When he died he donated his body to medical science with the strange addendum that his skull be delivered to the RSC for use in theatrical performances. For 26 years the skull was stored [...]
Lin Enger's debut novel Undiscovered Country is a modernized retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet set in small town Minnesota. It's a shame that the other Minnesota set Hamlet reiteration (the mind-numbingly boring, long winded, and canine obsessed The Story of Edgar Sawtelle ) is receiving so much more attention and praise. Undiscovered Country is superior in that it successfully captures the melancholy and dramatic atmosphere of Hamlet , yet the plot is fast paced with characters that are both interesting and human. The novel is so well [...]
Speaking of Hamlet , I would like to point out a Canadian television import that's currently seized my attention and dominated my Netflix queue. Slings and Arrows follows a Shakespearean theater festival reeling after the scandalous on-stage nervous breakdown of their star Hamlet, Geoffrey Tenant (dazzlingly played by Paul Gross) and, later, the untimely death-by-Ham-delivery-truck of their longtime Artistic Director Oliver Welles (Stephen Ouimette). Geoffrey reluctantly returns to take the position of Artistic Director, and finds himself haunted by the nagging ghost of his departed frienemy as he prepares to direct the [...]
