The play-within-the-lay was my favorite part:<br /><br />"and for the more better assurance, tell them that I Pyramus am not Pyramus but Bottom the weaver: this will put them out of fear."<br /><br />You can almost hear Shakespeare chuckling to himself while writing it.Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-79964012004792833622012-02-08T02:18:47.571-05:002012-02-08T02:18:47.571-05:00I most definitely prefer Shakespeare's tragedi...I most definitely prefer Shakespeare's tragedies so far, but I did like this one.

I've read it once before, but it's been a while. I haven't seen the movie version, though.

I've seen it performed a few times, and I always look forward to seeing how they will interpret the play within the play.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-9723303288518653342012-02-07T11:39:50.288-05:002012-02-07T11:39:50.288-05:00I have such a soft spot for this play because I wa...I have such a soft spot for this play because I was in a school production of it when I was like 10! It was very exciting :). But yeah, I did that, and then when I read the actual play, I kind of loved it even more, so, yay for that!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-30965346144310090392012-02-07T10:22:20.900-05:002012-02-07T10:22:20.900-05:00Oh, this is a play I could read over and over!
