The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 15.0293 Tuesday, 3 February 2004 From: Richard Burt <This email address is being protected from spambots.

The episode was about a guy from Jersey who was proposing to his girlfriend (of Armenian descent). More testimony to Shakespeare's queer(ed) sexuality? _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

William Rowley, All's Lost By Lust (1619) Postgraduate and postdoctoral scholars are invited to attend the next meeting of the Globe Research Seminar, a unique opportunity to workshop in depth the practical and theoretical issues which arise from the plays performed in Globe Education's "Read Not Dead" season of staged readings. The play under examination will be William Rowley's tragedy All's Lost by Lust, a searing dissection of the fatal consequences of illicit love for the individual and the state, which reaches its climax in the Muslim conquest of Spain. To enable discussion, an e-text of the play will be available prior to the seminar. Discussion will be accompanied by a glass of wine, and all participants will have the opportunity to attend the staged reading at the Globe Education Centre Theatre in Bear Gardens.

Julia Keller's wonderful column "Killing me Microsoftly with PowerPoint" in the Chicago Tribune of 5 January 2003 included this sad passage: I HAVE A DREAM: A PowerPoint presentation by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. SOME OF MY DREAMS: . We achieve a level playing field. . The glory of the Lord becomes visible. STRATEGY FOR REALIZING DREAMS: . Must rely on faith. . Must stick together. . Need to pray a lot. . May have to go to jail. . Must use catch phrase, "Let Freedom Ring." (Cut to MP3 track of "My Country 'Tis of Thee") EXPECTATIONS: . Freedom rings in a broad range of places. . Will speed day of racial and religious harmony. . Day will include a sing-a-long. . Singers: Black men, white men, Jews, Gentiles, Protestants, Catholics. . Song of choice: old Negro spiritual. . Song's inspirational tagline: -- "Thank God Almighty, we are free at last." Cheers, Skip Nicholson South Pasadena (CA) High SchoolThis email address is being protected from spambots.
