Shakespeare and Excess

[fan_elune]

"Shakespeare and Excess" was the theme of the annual congress of the SFS - the French Shakespeare Society. That's where I met Brian Cox, people. Who is an amazing person, on top of a fantastic actor, I cannot stress this enough. (Notice how I'm not capslocking? Go me

Well, I'm glad you had such a lovely lovely time!

Thank you! It was gorgeous. I am such a geek.

Brian Cox knows what an apostrophe is.

Awww...

Brian Cox recommends the book The Reckoning is based on

Um, you mean "Morality Play"?

[fan_elune]

I do! Mean that. I... don't know why I typed mystery instead of morality. Thank you. *facepalm*

Oh, Francois Laroque was our lecture teacher first semester for Antony and Cleopatra, and my Romeo and Juliet movie adapations teacher last month.

I need to read more Shakespeare. (and I don't know who Brian Cox is)

[fan_elune]

He's a bit, um. Boring? He is. The fact that he was up after Yan Brailowski's kickass, fascinating paper on Julius Caesar probably didn't help, but.

You so need to. Everybody needs to. Including me. Hee!

Brian Cox. You just don't know you know him, but you know him from somewhere. You have to. Everybody does.

[littlegothsin]

Yeah, he's not the most fascinating teacher ever, but he's okay, especialy in comparison with some awfully boring teacher we have sometimes. I thik they keep the good good teacher for conferences... ^^;

Oh yes, I've seen... one movie I think ! ^^;

Bloody brilliant, girl, I'd be in geeky literary heaven with all those talks - especially listening to Brian's voice! I'd seriously love to have heard Girard, shame about the cancellation.

I've never read Timon of Athens either, and that talk you mentioned sounds interesting. Ah, it's been so long since I read any Shakespeare that wasn't just for teaching reasons. In fact, it's been a long time since I read anything.

*kicks reading muse up its arse*

God, I was in geeky literary heaven. And geeky movie heaven with Brian.

I'm in the middle of typing up the Girard, I'll get on Timon afterwards. I LOVE SHAKESPEARE DISCUSSION oh god I'm such a geek. *squishes*
