One woman's attempt to read all of Shakespeare's plays before she turns 40...preferably by the end of this year. Or, more plays than you can shake a spear at. Or, 365 days of "doths" and "thous." Or, maybe this blog doesn't need a catchy title.

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.
