charliesmumWAAAY back when I was a senior in High School, I took a class called...well I forget what it was called, but it was kind of like an independant study English class.
Turned out it was more for people who needed extra help but me and this one other girl took it because English (Language Arts it's called nowadays, I think) was our favourite subject. The teacher, this amazingly awesome woman, took that into consideration and basically let me do all kinds of awesome things; poetry, short stories, etc.
At one point she let me and the other girl go to the AV room for a couple of days and watch Ian McKellen's 'Acting Shakespeare'.
To say I loved it would be a major understatement. I was pretty much a Shakespeare fangirl at that point already, but this just pushed it into a whole new realm. The teacher had us write an essay about it, and then her boyfriend said he could send them on to Sir Ian himself. Whether or not he ever got them, I'll never know, but for a few weeks I was sure he'd be phoning me to tell me how awesome and intelligent I was.
Anyway...I just found out that the show is finally being released onto DVD. I'm so pleased.
