Bringing the Author to Life
I got to meet Shakespeare the other day. It was loads of fun to get to chat with him. I bumped into him (OK, chased him down as he was on his way into the men’s room) at the Renaissance Festival. It was great to finally get to meet the man face to face.
I am not much of an actor myself, and usually feel quite self-concious if I have to put on any sort of show on stage. But I can sure see the value of letting students hear Shakespeare’s tales as if from his own mouth.
Have you ever seen these performances where the actor dresses up like the artist, and tells his/her story? Which are some of the best you’ve seen?
