The DU Lounge

We read at least one Shakespeare play every year. Freshman year, depending on what English class you were in (I think there were't enough books to go around, or something) it was either "Romeo and Juliet" or "Midsummer Night's Dream". My class got the latter, and I still giggle at the memory of some of my classmates doing the Pyramis and Thisbe bit and one of them playing the wall. Sophomore year was "Julius Caesar" during which a certain quiet classmate surprised all of us with his amazing reading of Brutus' speech. Junior year it was "Macbeth" and we had a glorious time with that as my class's English teacher had been a drama major. Senior year was "Hamlet" and that would hae been fun had our teacher not been completely incompetent. She had a nervous breakdown between semesters and we got a really cool one for second semester who would have made the play quite interesting.
