I got to write another blog for work :D This time it's all about Shakespeare to help promote our Shakespeare movie night.

Well, I was limited by what the library had on-shelf and WOW we need to get some more quality Shakespeare plays. I remember a loooooong time ago we had Kenneth Branagh's Twelfth Night on VHS and it was so good. I'm not even sure if it's available anymore. And I think there was a Midsummer Night's Dream with Helen Mirren?? I dunno, but yeah, sorta had to limit my suggestions. (otherwise I would have also included the Ian McKellan/Judi Dench "MacBeth" and also "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead".)

I'm so glad you agree! I always feel horrible when the kids come into the library over the summer asking for a Shakespeare play they have been assigned to read. It usually puts me over the edge and I start to rant about how they should watch the play and then I'm trying to find it for them LOL.

Sidenote - have you seen the TV series "Slings and Arrows"?? It's a must for Shakespeare fans and fans of quality television.
