columbina isn't joining me; I'm going with my sister and some friends. (columbina isn't interested in a long transatlantic trip.)

And yes, you blaspheme the name of Hamlet, one of my favorite Shakespeare plays! I've neither seen nor read Love's Labour's Lost -- my friend lunchboy, who'll be joining me on the trip, says it's lightweight -- but DT does romantic comedy so well I'm happy to see it anyway.

Now, to figure out how I'm going to pay for the flight and accommodations ...

Yeah, Hamlet, like Romeo and Juliet, is a bit overrated for me. I think it's some of Shakespeare's finest writing, but I prefer Much Ado About Nothing and Richard III. It's a very personal dislike: I don't care for any of the characters in Hamlet (I used to like Romeo and Juliet until I read it as an adult and realized that Romeo is stupid and Juliet, although more intelligent, loses a lot of points for liking stupid and overly dramatic Romeo). There's characters for me to like in Much Ado and Richard III! I love DT's performance in the audio play of the former.

If I went, it would be completely on my own, which has its own appeal... but I just couldn't get enough enthusiasm to break out the credit card and go.
