well i liked it.

We went on tuesday the 10th. I thought it was good, more entertaining than the movies i've seen. The very first scene with Kent, Edmund and Glouster was confusing till i realized that he was playing both Kent and Edmund. The rest of my school didnt like it but most of them haven't read the book yet so didnt understand what was going on.

Have you checked out the website it explains why the director chose to do it the way he did

Our school is going to see it a week from now on saturday, travelling ~5 hours by coach to Sydney (from Port Macq.). Total waste of time in my opinion, so i'm not going as a result :p
Not wasting my whole saturday to fall asleep in yet another King Lear production!

it sux if you live that far away from sydney. personally i live close enough to the city so i didnt really care. though i admit that i wasted a whole saturday attending that production which totally made me nod!
i was there to see what soem of the people in my class would say or do. i got my fair share of it :D one of my friends kept saying "mark mark" in a seagull voice and jsut the laughing in inappropriate places...meh

indeed, im sure you can relate the origin to education somehow too, king lear was so shit i wouldnt say youre missing much. The state of origin now.. that could be like, a journey, as they players go through the stages of the game, both physical, and inner, like their mental states as the game progressess, whether theyre behind or infront.
The footy will be of more benefit to your english.

yeah, as much as the chairs got hyped up for their springiness, i didnt find them that great.. maybe a blanket could help, can be chilli if its a windy night.. hell, why not stay home in bed?
unless youre bringing a date you wont need condoms.. the chick actors are really not that attractive!

yep i agree. i'm suprised so many of you ppl went to the same play at bondi pavilion.. mmh i agree the seats were shithouse- thats why we got seats in the front row near the music playing guy.. those gong noises were louder than expected.

Yeah I saw this last year and I didnt like it that much, I loved Queen Lere though that I saw last year, it was great, excepet for the omission of the fool, everytime we go to english someone brings that up and we end up talkin about it for half the lesson, lol.
