Over on the PBS site I found a video of Christopher Plummer talking about playing Lear.
I've only watched the beginning, but I'm intrigued that he calls Lear a boor. I see Lear as imperious and hotheaded, but not a boor.
How about you? Reading any Shakespeare this week? Joining me for Comedy of Errors this month?
Reading lots of 12th Night as I get my director's script ready for "Shakespeare in the Backyard" #2 starting next week :)
Maybe I'll try Comedy of Errors too

I decided to go for Comedy of Errors with you! I've never read it, and I'm intrigued by the Plautus connection. (I teach Latin and Greek. =) )
