The rest is silence.
Well, who does know where the time goes... but apparently I've run out of hours to devote to this little project. It will just have to wait in line until next summer - or, maybe, three years from now - before rising to the top of my personal to-do list again.
For those few who've been reading along: if you've enjoyed it so far, great. If you've learned anything, even better. If you've thought more deeply about this amazing and astonishing play, and its amazing and astonishing effect on so many different people through the past four hundred years, that's best of all.
If I've given you any sense of my own answer to the question, "Why Hamlet?" and some awareness of the trainload of baggage I personally bring into the rehearsal hall every three to four years and never get a chance to talk about, then this blog has partially served its purpose. (Its other main purpose was, of course, to force me to start organizing the baggage cars, and in that I guess it's been partially successful, too!)
Since I didn't have the intention of providing free Level 4 or A+ essays for students, I've removed most of the content. If you really need material for an essay topic, ask me. Otherwise, happy trails to you, until we meet again!

aggggh!
susan, i just discovered last weekend that you had a blog. i knew i had my reading cut out for me, but i wish i would've started sooner now!
i did get to read your first post, about Elsinore withdrawal... and i just have to say that poem captures EVERYTHING that i was feeling... ok, ok... everything that i still am feeling. Playmakers has been such a huge part of my life these past four years and i have grown so much because of it. Needless to say, i'm going to miss it... which i'm sure you've heard time and time again from me and from others. But i don't think you could ever fully understand how thankful i am for your guidance over the years. you have been an amazing teacher/director/mentor/friend who is able to see potential in every young actor. You've challenged me---and although at the time i may not have liked the challenges *cough*singing*cough*---i truly am thankful that you did! You've helped me realize the potential and possibilities that i have in my future!
i look forward to your future entries.
thank you once again,
eric
