Hamlet 2008: Stripping Shakespeare’s
most celebrated work
|
|
Making her directorial debut, theater actor Ana
Abad Santos-Bitong has created a bold new version of Hamlet that
strips all the frills normally associated with a typical Shakespeare
production—the flowery costumes, the lavish sets, the British
accents—leaving nothing but the raw, brutal story of murder and
love and treachery and revenge that is Shakespeare’s most famous
work.

characters and comic strips that were widely followed in such
publications as the Chronicle, This Week magazine and the Weekly
Graphic.

San Francisco, CA: Californians are so fortunate to live in this
sunny state (although that is not always the case), especially this
part of the region. True, the Bay Area is currently being soaked by
surprising rainfall, which actually is a blessing, alleviating our
drought situation.

No such thing as
unlucky
|
|
Life is not just a series of ups and downs, it is a never-ending
series of ups and down. Since none of us enjoys the downs, we like
to think that we can somehow avoid them. We build up all sorts of
expectations that we will be different somehow from the rest of
humanity. I know this sounds crazy, but it’s true.
