Day 111: Oh I almost forgot!

I came across this the other day and I meant to post it with my Julius Caesar post. It's a film called "I, Cinna (The Poet)" by Tim Crouch, part of his series of solo shows based on Shakespeare's less characters. I particularly loved it because Cinna the poet is part of Mike's favourite scene in Julius Caesar, when the mob is attacking Cinna for being a conspirator against Caesar. "Get him for being a traitor!" they cry. "But I'm not that Cinna! I'm Cinna the poet!" he protests. "Get him for his bad verses!" they immediately answer. Poor poet can't win.
