Thank you for the heads-up! I'm really looking forward to these!

(BTW whenever I see a picture of Whishaw's RII I start humming, "See the pretty girl in the mirror there? WHAT MIRROR, WHERE?"

I even have an appropriate icon for that! Although I have soured on the comic potential of that song since the other day when I walked past the pool at my apartment complex and a bunch of guys sang "I Feel Skinny" to that tune. Have I mentioned lately that I hate people?

Great, now I am going to be giggling and thinking "Evil Rory!" all day. :)

But hooray! I'm especially looking forward to All's Well, because Sam Crane, aka Globe Hotspur, is playing Bertram (and since I already got to see Faustus), but obviously the instant they release locations and dates, I will be getting tickets for all three.

OMG OMG. SO excited about the Faustus broadcast. I saw that production twice last summer--it's one of my favorite plays, and the best production of it that I've ever seen. I've been hoping they'd release it, so I can use it in classes.

EVE FUCKING BEST. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Also, Faustus has, like, the BEST JIG EVER.

I so want to teach All's Well after this comes out, only I don't want to ditch Measure. Do you think it would be really bad to do a Late Shakespeare class without a Roman tragedy, or possibly even one without Hamlet? (Which I'm not, technically, supposed to be teaching anyway, since it's theoretically "plays written after 1603," except none of the students read the course catalogue anyway, and my chair doesn't care.)

Well, the one time I taught Antony and Cleopatra it was an utter disaster, so I would be down with it. But you are actually good at teaching A&C as far as I can tell, so that is probably less of an issue. Anyway, yeah, I'd be comfortable doing Late Shakespeare without a Roman play. Or Hamlet. I didn't do Hamlet in Shakespeare for Non-Majors, even.

a_t_rain August 16 2012, 13:31:53 UTC

Yeah, for some reason I always think of the Late Shakespeare class in terms of "musts" (as in, I must teach this particular play, or one from this category), whereas I don't have that problem with the early class. I'm not sure why.

I'm actually giving Coriolanus a go instead of A&C this year, as there is a new film version and it seems like it would be a good election-year play. But this is the first time I've changed the lineup in four years, and I change the early class a bit every semester.
