I’ve read Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and Antony and Cleopatra. Antony and Cleopatra is my favourite. I saw a production of Hamlet with my school (it was a little bit scary how many people who were involved in the production of Hamlet were about to become very important in my life when we were cast together in Alice in Wonderland, and I didn’t even know them then). Most of the people around me slept through it, but I was enthralled. The show I saw is known by everyone who took part in it as “the show where everything went wrong”, as the audience (or whatever small percentage of the audience that was awake, as this was a high school matinee and I was the only one in my row who was conscious) could hear swearing from behind the curtain several times and there was an invisible pipe involved. And now I’m working crew for a performance of Romeo & Juliet. I auditioned for Juliet, and I was SO disappointed when I didn’t get it. I feel like the girl who got it is doing pretty well with it, though, and since I got to asst. direct another play I’m not that upset about it anymore.

Whenever I can, I try to encourage the use of “colour” and “cancelled” and other correct spellings of English words. American English is incorrect, and always will be unless we do something about it, and I was very pleased to see that I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Or not very well, anyway, because I quit my lessons years ago. But it’s something I would love to take up again someday, and also I would just like to be rich enough to own one.
