Subject:        Shakespearean Semiotics

Can anybody direct me to any studies done with regards Shakespeare and
semiology, especially with regards Macbeth? I have managed to come across only
a handful and am greatly interested to read more literature with this regards.

Subject:        ACT's "The Tempest"

No, this is not a movie, it is a real-live stage play running in San Francisco
at the American Conservatory Theater's newly-reopened Geary Theater.  It is
only running until 2/18 and tickets are scarce. However, I saw it this week and
it is worth the trouble of tickets and travel.   The staging is innovative and
mostly effective, Miranda is superb (the best enactment for this part I have
ever seen), Prospero is unusually human, and Ariel is excellent.  Call
415-749-2ACT for information.

Usually Miranda and Ferdinand (the love match for which Prospero arranged the
tempest) seem so sappy and empty that their scenes have only slightly more to
recommend them than does intermission.  In this ACT production, Miranda
actually seemed to me to be more a person.  Her extreme enthusiasm after her
first look at a man other than her Father and the bestial Caliban was charming.

Another review of this production may be found in

Of course, the play itself may be found in:
