Vida Winter Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yesterday we were having a "down" day because I am battling a lung virus and I watched (with all the kids, eating popsicles in bed!) "Why Shakespeare?" a documentary by Lawrence Bridges. It was outstanding. It featured many actors and actresses, as well as poets and stagehands, discussing how Shakespeare has touched and enriched their lives. We loved hearing Michael York reciting sonnets, and Michael Richards' (from Seinfeld) dramatic reading from The Tempest. In fact my kids had me play Michael Richards' recital about a half dozen times. This was just a short DVD we got from the library this week, but it was so inspiring I wanted to mention it here. I love it when something can add that "spark" to our sometimes mundane days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
