' All the world's a stage . . . '

Today was the day when advanced English, visited Pact Theatre to witness Shakespeare's 'As You like it'. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to read the script or to view the performance, I envy you little bastards who did not have part of their soul stolen away by the Forest of Arden :(.

Thats not to say it wasn't good. The acting was wonderful and when it was funny, it was very funny.
Its a shame Shakespeare is so dull.

but yes, what intrigued me about this play was its perception and portrayal of personas. For example, Rosalind for the most part of the play had to pretend to be a man. And i hoenstly felt sorry for her, because she was absolutley stunning! But to continue, there was this one line in the play that made me think, 'omgosh, thats so true'. And it made me feel kind of sad. And im not going to tell you what it is, but its in here =). Somewhere. This line by the way, is about, acting, and it made me think of how everyone acts. Now don't lie - you do it, I do it, your mother does it.

Yes. your mother.

So i just wanted to say to everyone, that if you wear a persona, like the loud girl or the tough guy or the clinically depressed teacher, don't.
Cause we don't want to see it :).

Thanks for reading my bullshit.
By now you would haev realised you wasted about 5 minutes of your life.
Sucker.
