proximoceptionSudden Hamlet!
We were at a plaza by a movie theater and wandered by in the cold to see what's playing. It was 7:10, and turned out Hamlet was on. Which Hamlet? An apparently satellite-cast (U.K.) National Theatre one starring Rory Kinnear, who has a speech impediment-style lisp but was fantastic. Best I've ever seen, though I'd never seen a genuinely good one in any medium (maybe a few scattered moments of Olivier's passed muster). But very moving. And serendipitous - we didn't end up even missing any, as when we got into the theater some boring British guy was setting the play up.
(North of Seattle where we used to go to buy cheap books and decent Chinese and Mexican food - both entirely absent from Vancouver, the former despite/because of all the Chinese people - there was a long stretch of suburban road with several signs that cracked us up reliably. One was "Sudden Printing.")
They're doing a Lear in February. Derek Jacoby.

Back for a second year due to popular demand, you can enjoy Gene Wilder's wonderfully eccentric performance and sing along to those great Wonka songs, all while experiencing the sweet taste of chocolate and the odiferous aroma of snozzberries in total "sense-surround."
