Day Twelve: Sneaking It In
Seriously, guys! Did you think you would make it to Weekend #2? Maybe some of you didn’t! It’s not too late to hop aboard the NaBloPoMo train (insert train whistle noise here).
I’ll remind you that weekends are a chance to blog about the things you do when you don’t have any homework and there is an entire day stretched out in front of you.
The Tempest plays this Sunday at 4pm at Niagara Square. My boyfriend, Christopher Plummer (Captain Von Trapp – you remember!) plays Prospero in this Stratford production of a Shakespearean classic. At the beginning of December, Hollywood releases a new telling of The Tempest with Helen Mirren as Prospera. The director (Julie Taymor, Across the Universe) has cast a female in the traditionally male lead. I suggest catching Mr. Plummer at 4pm on Sunday, then comparing his performance with Ms. Mirren’s in December. What else have you got to do???
Here’s the official trailer for the Mirren film:
It’s the stuff that dreams are made of – gah! You’re quoting Shakespeare!
