I lost a lot of email in a recent war with my computer (it won), so I hope I'm not backing up any tracks, but the visual image of Hamlet contemplating the skull of Yorick, which has become emblematic of Shakespearean tragedy for us was in the early modern, emblematic of the memento mori practice. I thought Billy Crystal conveyed this well when he answered Kenneth Branagh's question: "This same skull, sir was sir YORick's skull, the King's jester" and a whoreson mad fellow's it was. Clifford

Don, that is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me. I suppose I will have to tuck my head into this discussion. The first class in Shakespeare I taught was to college women in Washington DC. I was performing there and my baby sister was attending said university. My proud little sister talked the poor professor into allowing me one lecture. It was an eight thirty AM "required" course. I did not get an ovation. Teaching Graduate Students I'm sure many of us have found is much easier; they want to be there. However I recently got involved with a group of High School students who put on the first Shakespeare production in the 47 year history of their school. I was sort of brought in as a play doctor they were opening in two weeks. Maybe it was their desperation for they were indeed foundering but I have never experienced the purity of purpose and delight of discovery those kids brought to the work. It was a spiritual experience for a jaded old actor. As Theseus says in Act V of Dream. "I will hear that Play For never anything can be amiss When simpleness and duty tender it." Ken
