Last English lesson -

Ophelia: I do not know my lord what I should think.
Polonius: Marry I'll teach you; think yourself a baby, / That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay / Which are not sterling.
Ophelia: Oh, that's so rude! If my dad said that to me I'd hit him.
Polonius: Er?
My friend Jess: I know. I'd probably go upstairs and play my music really loud.
Me: Yeah, 'cause Ophelia had a CD player.
Jess: She probably had the equivalent. ...Like a lute.

Teacher: [Enter Ghost]
Class: OOOOOOOOOOO-WOOOOOOOO!
Ghost: I am thy father's spirit -
Class: *sing Eastenders theme tune*
Ghost: *bursts into giggles* I'm sorry, it's just so funny!
Teacher: Yes, Hamlet is well known for its comedy.

This is only relevant because the HAMLET TICKETS CAME YESTERDAY.

You can tell I'm excited.

*GLEE* still waiting on mine!!! <3

I had a REALLY interesting discussion about Hamlet in my Shakespeare class in college. My teacher looked like Gandelf and sounded... *guH* I loved listening to him read. <3

Hee!! I love it when people have *guh* voices like that. I could listen to Matthew Macfadyen (Mr Darcy), for example, or Mohinder from Heroes, speak forever. I'd buy DVDs of them reading the phonebook.

Matthew Macfayden LOVE HIM! But for me Colin Firth will always be Mr. Darcy. Rent the 6 hour version OMG. FANTASTIC. Love Lizzy in that one...

I haven't seen Heroes *hangs head* but I will! I've just been lazy with the telly. I used to watch it so much more in Uni. *L* maybe I had the time then... I watch it over lunch breaks and a bit before bed now.

Matthew MacFayden reading the phone book... guh. Donnally was DEFINITELY one of those professors. I could listen to him read for HOURS. And when he read Hamlet... *dies* In all actuality he reminds me a bit of Ian Mckellan and Patrick Stewart mixed together, but without the accent.

Ooooh, I totally love Hamlet. One day in class, we decided to read it in a bunch of absolutely random accents, switching off for each character. I think Claudis in the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger (I think you guys would've heard of him in England... he plays "The Terminator") was one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

And any chance you could sneak a camera in with you when you go to see? And maybe a net..... and plane tickets to the States? :P

LOL! Terminator!Claudius! That's too funny =D

*giggles* A friend of mine has plans to take a giant vat of melted chocolate with her, then run up on stage, pour it over DT and then when it's set she can carry him home.

That's the theory, anyway.

Hmmm, chocolate Tennant would be good for other things as well, methinks. :P

Such as entertaining small children and feeding the homeless and all that. Yup. *Nods*

Any chance you could air-mail him to me when you guys are done?

*giggles* Absolutely!

And of course that's what we'll use chocolate!David for. Nothing else crossed my mind.
