why wy?

Just got back from seeing King Lear, which ran for about... 4 hours. Almost Bollywood, it even had some songs, just not the dancing. It was very good, very intense and very precise, but my olde english is rusty so some parts I was lost. It was also the very first Shakespeare play I've seen live, everything else has been on film. I miss the cinematic close up, but only because we were in the cheapest seats (which were not very cheap either).

I was really worried about Sir Ian McKellen's nude scene, and if it would put me off LOTR and XMen reruns forever but I shouldn't have bothered. Me and my gay friend agreed he is a man blessed with many talents (ahem) . I guess there is a reason (besides artistic integrity) why he is willing to drop his dacks night after night on a world tour.

And I almost got the dates mixed up, so I would have turned up tomorrow and realised the tickets were for yesterday....
